Abstract:This report discusses nine new approaches for reducing recidivism among multiple DWI offenders: dedicated detention facilities, diversion programs, electronic monitoring, ignition interlock systems, intensive probation supervision, publishing offenders' names, special license tags, victim restitution, and weekend intervention programs. Data on 33 programs that use these approaches were collected through telephone discussions, review of written materials, and site visits to 11 programs. The approaches provide a much wider range of options for dealing with DWI offenders than traditional sanctions such as jail, fines, license suspension, and probation. They also have appealing features: many cost less than jailing offenders; offenders tend to complete the programs; many very closely monitor offenders in the community, which provides security while alleviating jail overcrowding; they can be used at many points in the criminal justice system; they are supported by the community, etc. However, critical information about the efficiency and effectiveness of these approaches is not available: it is not clear how well programs detect drinking-driving and other violations; cost data are incomplete, and reliable data on post-program recidivism is rarely available. Descriptions of programs and additional information appears in a companion report: Users' Guide To New Approaches And Sanctions For Multiple DWI Offenders. /Abstract from report summary page/
