Cut DUI Recidivism for Good: A Multi-Track DUI Court Approach to Repeat Offenders
SESSION INFO
Tuesday, August 20, 2019
8:30 AM - 10:00 AM
Session Type: Workshop
This session shows how a DWI/DUI court can maximize its effect by taking a global approach and targeting all high-risk offenders, including high-risk and low-needs offenders, by using multiple tracks. The presenters will highlight how a DUI court was able to achieve an over 50% reduction in collisions and a 32% reduction in recidivism involving over 4,000 clients in a 9.5-year period by identifying the highest risk offenders and using evidence-based principles to hold them accountable to the court based upon their risk and need levels. During that same period new DUI offenses were reduced 66% and deaths and serious injuries from alcohol-involved collisions in the jurisdiction dropped 36%. The challenge of developing effective approaches for DWI/DYU offenders is considerable, and this workshop should prove very useful to all involved in such endeavors!
