Guide to Sentencing DWI Offenders, 2nd Edition (2005)

摘要

This sentencing guide is designed to assist judges and prosecutors in reducing recidivism among people convicted of driving while impaired (DWI). While the work of these and other professionals has contributed to the marked reduction in alcohol-related deaths on the highway since the early 1980s, in the past several years progress has stagnated. The involvement of all practitioners in the sentencing process is crucial from both community and public health perspectives. Dealing most effectively with serious traffic offenders can make a substantial difference in community members' health, quality of life, and public welfare.
