Abstract

This report documents the experience of a community - new Philadelphia- in which a concerned judge, attempted to apply the approach to drunk driving that views it as a criminal justice problem, best addressed with tough laws. Visible innovation in the matter of drunk driving was adoption of a sentencing policy providing for jail terms, initially of 10 days and subsequently of 15 days, for first offenders.
