“…Males significantly outnumbered females (78 percent to 22 percent), and Caucasians comprised 59 percent of the study population. These demographics comport with other research of DUI repeat offenders (Jones & Lacey, 2000).…”

“…A literature review of the characteristics of repeat DUI offenders concluded that the majority are single, White males with a high school education and are more likely than first-time DUI offenders to be alcohol dependent (Jones & Lacey, 2000). Additionally, when compared to first-time DUI offenders, repeat offenders were more likely to have engaged in other criminal activities (Gould & Gould, 1992).…”

“…More likely it is a combination of the two, but because of the lack of relevant data, the exact mix is unknown. In a review of research on repeat offenders, R. K. Jones and Lacey (2000) came to the conclusion that the magnitude of the repeat offender crash problem is not known with confidence. Nevertheless, it is an important question to ask because the answer drives the kinds of countermeasures that are employed to address the problem.…”

General deterrent approaches, such as frequent and highly publicized sobriety checkpoints, have the greatest potential to save lives and should be the mainstay of state and local efforts. Specific deterrent approaches, aimed at deterring DWI offenders from reoffending, such as alcohol ignition interlocks, should be applied to all apprehended drivers, whatever their drinking history. Evidence suggests that they could benefit from them. In the future, advanced in-vehicle technologies that would prevent vehicles from being driven when their drivers are over the legal limit may hold the key to drastically reducing the alcohol-impaired driving problem.

“…Multiple offenders who repetitively disregard DUI/ DWI laws and drive after drinking are essentially involved in routine alcoholimpaired driving that is reinforced by the low probability of arrest (Anda et al 1986;Beitel et al 1975;Borkenstein 1974;Hingson 1995;Voas and Hause 1987;Zador et al 2000); low detection rates, even during special enforcement operations such as sobriety checkpoints (Ferguson et al 1995;Jones and Lund 1986); and few harmful repercussions such as crashes. Studies clearly indicate that a substantial proportion of multiple DUI/DWI offenders are motivated to drink because they are dependent on alcohol (Dawson 1999;Perrine 1990;Voas 2001;Wiliszowski et al 1996), that they are motivated to drive after drinking because their last drink was likely to have been in a bar or restaurant (McKnight 1993) to which they had driven, and because alcohol-impaired drinkers misinterpret cues of intoxication (Jones and Lacey 2000) and tend to be over-confident in their ability to drive safely while intoxicated (Caudill et al 1990).…”

Effects of administrative ignition interlock license restrictions on drivers with multiple alcohol offenses

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.
