The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism have released a guide to sentencing driving wile intoxicated (DWI) offenders. The guide is based on more than 30 years of research on the effectiveness of sanctions for impaired-driving offenders. In addition to sanctions, the guide also covers issues associated with alcohol involvement in fatal crashes, treatment approaches and characteristics, DWI courts, and screening and brief interventions. The guide also includes a DWI sentencing checklist. (Author/publisher)
