In this twenfth annual legislatively mandated report, 2000 and 2001 DUI data from diverse sources were compiled and cross-referenced for the purpose of developing a single comprehensive DUI data reference and monitoring system. This report presents crosstabulated information on DUI arrests, convictions, court sanctions, administrative actions and alcohol-involved accidents. In addition, this report provides an evaluation of the effectiveness of alternative court and administrative sanctions (including alcohol treatment programs and license actions) upon the 1-year postconviction records of first and second DUI offenders over a time period of eleven years. The postconviction driving records of second DUI offenders arrested in 1998 and 2000 were evaluated for 3- and 1-year periods, respectively. Additional analyses were conducted on the effectiveness of alcohol education programs upon the 1-year post conviction records of those convicted of the reduced charge of alcohol-related reckless driving, and on the effectiveness of the 3-month versus 6-month alcohol eduction programs on the 1-year post conviction records of first offenders.
