Abstract

The aim of the present article is to describe the recidivism rate after participation in an educationally based programme for imprisoned DWI offenders in Sweden, and to compare with the outcome for matched control subjects. It was found that the recidivism rate, within four years of the programme, for first offenders participating was12.5%, compared to 19.5% for the control sample, a significant difference. Of repeat offenders more than 43% reoffended with very similar outcome for the two comparison groups. (A)
