Title: Preventing First-Time DWI Offenses: First-Time Offenders in CAlifornia, New York, and Florida: An Analysis of Past Criminality and Associated Criminal Justice Interventions

Summary: Research suggests that there are far more people driving impaired than arrested each year. Additional data supports that a person arrested for the first time for driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while impaired (DWI) may have driven many times impaired before getting caught. This report details a study that determined if there were common prior offenses among first-time DWI offenders, and to identify strategies that are used to address the identified offenses to determine if there are potential opportunities to expand those efforts to prevent impaired driving.

Title: Case Studies of Community-Base Self-Sufficient DWI Programs

Summary: This report is intended to provide guidance to communities in developing or adapting existing programs to function more self-sufficiently. The report features five case studies of community-based, self-sufficient DWI programs operating at the local level in various communities across the country. Two of the programs are enforcement-oriented, one focusing on traffic safety violations, the other on vehicle forfeiture; two programs focus on offender supervision, one operating within the court system, the other as a human services program; one program is a multijurisdictional community traffic safety coalition providing prevention and intervention programming. While it is intended to provide information on self-sufficiency strategies and program components, it does not evaluate the specific program strategies (use of enforcement, offender supervision, coalitions, etc.). Community-based, self-sufficient DWI programs are independently managed and operated at the local level using sustainable funding sources to cover at least 75 percent of program costs. Sustainable funding sources may include fees or fines dedicated to the DWI program, as well as an established funding stream dedicated exclusively to the DWI program. A self-sufficient DWI program must be funded through sustainable sources to function efficiently if nonsustainable funding sources cease.
