• Abstract:
  The objectives of this exploratory study were to determine (a) how ignition interlock data is used for DWI offender monitoring and offender-related programs, such as screening, assessments, and treatment for alcohol abuse problems; and (b) if the interlock data can be used effectively to reduce alcohol-impaired driving recidivism. The objectives were met by identifying nine States with large numbers of interlocks in use including two States that use interlock data in systematic or unique ways. The nine States selected for study were Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, North Carolina, New Mexico, Texas, and Washington. Discussions were conducted with a variety of key interlock informants in each State, and site visits were made to two States (Florida and Colorado). Short descriptions of interlock program practices from other States are featured, as well. Additional information was compiled from public sources and interlock publications.
