Abstract:The state of Maryland maintains this nation's most intensive monitoring system for convicted drinking drivers. Each offender placed in the program by the court is required to attend a face-to-face interview once a week. In addition to the Monitor Program, judges in Prince George's County have the option of sentencing impaired drivers from 1 to 4 weeks to a specially built county DWI Facility. DUI's were divided into four groups 1) those who were placed on the State Monitor Program only, 2) those who were sentenced to the DWI Facility only, 3) those who were placed in both programs, and 4) those who received neither. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact on recidivism of each of these four outcomes. Offenders who received both the Facility and the DDMP program had the highest proportion of individuals with one or more prior offenses (38%). Twenty-nine percent of those assigned to only the DWI Facility had priors, while 24% assigned to only the State Monitor Program had priors. Only 15% for those not assigned to neither of the treatment programs had one or more priors. Despite difference in prior offenses, recidivism rates for offenders not assigned to either of these treatments were considerably higher (35%) than for those offenders assigned to either the DWI and DDMP, or Both programs (15% or less). /Abstract from report summary page/
