Abstract:

The purpose of this monograph is to provide a resource tool that can be used by those in the impaired-driving community; specifically prosecutors, victims, and victim advocates. The monograph focuses on how prosecutors can work with victims and victim advocacy organizations as they prosecute impaired-driving cases. “Prosecutors Working with Victim Advocate Groups” was developed for NHTSA by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), with technical assistance and input from the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA) – APRI National Traffic Law Center. MADD is one of the largest advocacy groups in the country. Its members work with prosecutors across the country on a daily basis. These advocates and victims have a unique ability to speak out in ways that prosecutors cannot. The NDAA is the oldest and largest professional organization representing criminal prosecutors in the world. Its members come from the offices of district attorneys, State attorneys, attorneys general and county and city prosecutors with responsibility for prosecuting criminal violations in every State and Territory of the United States. This monograph is based on the knowledge, information, ideas, and suggestions of these two groups, along with input from others within the prosecutorial community.
