“…From the perspective of criminal behavior and its deterrence, the weaker monitoring explanation in the context of alcohol-impaired driving and ignition interlocks is congruent with routine activity theory (Bouffard et al 2007;Gruenwald et al 1996). According to this theory, the probability of a criminal event increases when (in the course of regular, everyday activities) there is a convergence among motivated offenders, suitable targets, and the absence of capable guardians (Cohen and Felson 1979;Felson 2002).…”

This study investigated, under real-world conditions, whether a statewide 2-year administrative ignition interlock license restriction program in Maryland was effective in reducing subsequent alcohol-related traffic violations among multiple offenders and whether any reductions in recidivism could be maintained after the program ended and interlock license restrictions were removed. A total of 1,927 drivers eligible for relicensure were randomly assigned to either the 2-year interlock license restriction program or the normal and customary sanctions afforded multiple offenders in Maryland. Recidivism was defined as incurring a subsequent alcoholimpaired driving violation during the 2-year intervention or 2-year postintervention periods. Compared to the control group, participation in the interlock license restriction program reduced drivers' hazard (or risk) of a subsequent alcoholimpaired driving offense by a statistically significant 36% during the 2-year intervention, 26% during the 2-year postintervention period, and 32% during the entire 4-year study period. This investigation of interlock program effectiveness is the first to report significantly lower recidivism among the interlock group than its control group after the ignition interlock license restriction program ended. Possible reasons for this novel finding and areas for future research are discussed.

“…Our methods provide an incomplete picture of the relationship between the availability of alcohol and the act of driving under its influence, because there is no information about drinking patterns in the population, such as frequency, quantity, variability of drinking and factors of drinking locations (Bouffard, Bergeron, & Bouffard, 2007; ------IJADR 3(2) ------…”

Aims: To determine whether the implementation of alcohol control policies was associated with changes in the incidence of road traffic deaths. Measures: Aggregated daily counts of road traffic deaths. Restrictive policies were compared with lax policies to estimate the effect of reducing hours of alcohol availability using multiple negative binomial regressions. Findings:There was a decreased risk of road traffic mortality in periods when moderately restrictive policies were in effect (IRR = 0.84, 95% CI 0.72-0.97, p = 0.019). There was an even lower risk of road traffic deaths in periods when most restrictive policies were in effect (IRR = 0.70, 95% CI 0.58-0.85, p < 0.001). In motorcyclists, most restrictive (IRR 0.55, 95% CI 0.38-0.81, p = 0.002) and full restrictive policies (IRR 0.52, 95% CI 0.29-0.94, p = 0.032) were associated with decreased risk of mortality. Conclusions:Our findings support more restrictive alcohol control policies to reduce road traffic mortality. Specifically, reducing the time of alcohol availability was associated with a decrease in road traffic death rates.

“…The first inquiry assesses the impact of the enactment of a Minnesota law that extends, by 1-hr (from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m.), the closing time of alcohol serving bars and restaurants on the number of police stops for driving under the influence of alcohol within a single, unnamed locality (Bouffard, Bergeron, & Bouffard, 2007).

On May 11, 2009, the City of San Marcos, Texas adopted an ordinance that allowed local bars to extend their hours of operation from midnight until 2 a.m. The objective of this initiative, which went into effect on June 4, 2009, was to minimize the problems that arise from the consumption of alcohol. The present investigation uses interrupted time series autoregressive integrated moving average [ARIMA]) modeling techniques to analyze weekly data to assess the impact of the ordinance, along with a limited increase in patrol strength in the downtown district, on the number of calls for service involving verbal disturbances, physical disturbances, public intoxication, and driving under the influence of alcohol. Overall, the interrupted time series analyses indicate that neither the city council's nor the police department's strategies for mitigating some of the negative consequences of the consumption of alcoholic beverages in bars and taverns were successful. The implications of these findings for lessening alcohol-related conflicts between bar patrons and other residents of the community are discussed.
