Abstract

This paper presents the case for humane intervention (as opposed to law- based, , punitive measures only) as an approach to reduce both alcohol- impaired driving and alcohol- crash losses.Current policies and programs still rely almost solely on deterrence, the traditional cornerstone of the societal response to drinking- driving problems.Recent research calls this overall strategy into question and indicates the need to include social and behavioral approaches as well.
