Abstract

The British Road Traffic Act 1991 allowed certain Courts to offer drink-drive offenders the opportunity to attend a rehabilitation course. Following a successful pilot study of offenders referred by these Courts between 1993 and 1996, the scheme was expanded in January 2000 allowing all Courts in Great Britain to refer drink-drive offenders to a course. This paper reports both an ongoing investigation of the reconviction rates of the early sample of offenders 5 years after their original drink-drive conviction, and a current study monitoring and evaluating the courses as the scheme expands. After 5 years non-course attenders were just over twice as likely to re-offend than course attenders. (Author/publisher) For the covering abstract of the conference see ITRD Abstract No. E201067.
