Bart:
Or, we can take the Otis the Drunk solution.

For those who are not familiar, in the 1960's American comedy, THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, Otis was the town drunk. Being drunk in public was a crime, so Otis, whenever he got drunk, would show up at the local jail, step into the cell, and lock himself in for the night. 

It is well-known when werewolves will be changing into werewolves. So, all local werewolves are required to check into the local jail at, say, 2 hours before sunset on the nights of their change (or whatever amount of time would be reasonable to allow the local law enforcement to hunt down the stragglers). 

Of course, seeing that there doesn't seem to be any punishment in the WW in between fines and risking a fate worse than death as Azkaban, I doubt that the idiots that comprise most of the WW government would think of such a thing.
