Abstract

In 1998, a survey was conducted in Michigan as a first step in a larger effort to understand the factors that influence judge's sentencing behaviours for repeat drunk drivers. Judges and probation officers responding to a self-administered mailed survey recognized the difference between first-time and repeat offenders and reported using a variety of treatment and sanction options. Perceived barriers to addressing recidivism were more commonly linked to the offender than to inadequate community resources.
