Reaching the 33%: How Do Courts and Probation Work Together to Stop the High-Risk Impaired Driver?
SESSION INFO
Tuesday, January 7, 2020
2:15 PM - 3:45 pm
Session Type: Workshop
Research shows that about two thirds of first-time DWI offenders never commit a subsequent drunk driving offense. However, the other third continue to drink and drive despite multiple convictions. In fact, over 73% of high-BAC drunk drivers involved in fatal crashes are repeat offenders, the population most likely to be placed under community supervision. Using the expertise of a trial court judge, researcher and practitioner, this group of experts will discuss promising and proven approaches to effectively assess, sentence, supervise and treat high-risk impaired drivers. Topics will include the communication and coordination between probation and the courts, use of risk/needs assessments, providing the most relevant pretrial, pre-sentence, and post-sentence information to the court, evidence-based community supervision practices, and comprehensive treatment programming.
