Abstract:Driving-while-impaired (DWI) offenders present a high risk to traffic safety. Alcohol ignition interlocks are now widely used for DWI offenders and can significantly reduce DWI recidivism while on the offender’s vehicle. In a typical year an interlock device can collect and store up to 2,500 breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) tests. This breath-test data collected by the interlock device can then be used to help manage convicted DWI offenders. This descriptive study explores the current use of ignition interlock data for DWI offender monitoring and offender-related programs, such as screening, assessments, and treatment for alcohol abuse problems. It also examines the effectiveness of using the interlock data to reduce alcohol-impaired-driving recidivism. The researcher team collected information from a variety of sources involved with alcohol interlock programs and provide in-depth descriptions for a number of key interlock issues.
