“…However, there has also been reported an increase in deaths from accidental trauma associated with substance abuse [25]. Furthermore, risk of trauma death may be reduced in those patients referred to alcohol rehabilitation treatment [26]. Discharge to 'other' destination in our study was mostly for homeless patients.…”

“…Wells-Parker and Williams (2002), commenting on their review of courtmandated treatment, noted that, "In general, research has consistently shown that treatment has a modest effect on reducing drinking-driving and alcohol-impaired crashes among offenders who are mandated to attend and who actually receive the intervention" [emphasis added]. Mann et al (1994) found that offenders who received treatment had lower mortality rates when compared to similar members of a comparison group. And Dill and Wells-Parker (2006), in their review of mandated treatment, indicated that such programs have shown less effectiveness in reducing the severity of alcohol-related problems other than impaired driving.…”

Attitudes about drinking and driving have changed dramatically over the past few decades due to a combination of factors. Initiatives to address impaired driving have varied from harsher penalties to substance abuse treatment responses. This article reviews what works, what doesn't, what is inconclusive, and what looks promising for the future including traditional police responses such as sobriety checkpoints and vehicle or license sanctions. Victim Impact Panels and other more innovative initiatives have mixed reviews. Knowing that severity of sentences does not affect long term change, the criminal justice system has initiated robust programs that look promising. Courts are using new technologies and pharmacological responses to monitor offenders and reduce recidivism. Over the past ten years, Driving While Impaired (DWI) courts have sprung up throughout the United States and look to be an important part of the goal of reduced impaired driving and resulting crashes.

“…Drunk drivers randomly assigned to rehabilitation services have been shown to have significantly lower mortality rates due to accidental or violent deaths than drunk drivers in control groups (Mann, Anglin, & Wilkins, 1994). Additionally, alcohol treatment has been shown to result in significantly fewer observed re-offenses than the simple incarceration of DUI offenders (McCarty & Angeriou, 1988).…”

Driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) is a pervasive behavioral problem that causes substantial financial and emotional grief. In light of the costs attributable to DUI, the need for the effective intervention into the problem of drunk driving remains. Past research indicates that a substantial proportion of these offenses are committed by recidivists. Therefore, targeting predictors of recidivism may be beneficial for DUI interventions. This study: (a) identifies the relevant factors in probationer recidivism in a rural area of Virginia; (b) applies these factors to predict probationer recidivism; and (c) evaluates the impact of the local Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program (VASAP) on recidivism rates of convicted DUI offenders. Results indicate that the severity of probationer alcoholism and failure to complete VASAP were effective predictors of recidivism. The utility of performing program evaluations to identify and effectively address local needs is discussed. [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Delivery Service:
