• Abstract:
  This Traffic Tech summarizes the findings of the North Dakota 24/7 sobriety program that monitors people arrested for or convicted of criminal offenses in which alcohol or another drug was a factor, including driving under the influence. Results found statistically significant reductions in the arrests of repeat DUI offenders, especially after the State enacted a law in 2013 that requires program participation for repeat offenders. The study adds to the evidence that the 24/7 sobriety program is an effective strategy for reducing repeat DUI offenses.
