The illegal use of alcohol by minors contributes significantly to juvenile delinquency and violence. Motor vehicle crashes kill and injure more young people than any other cause, and alcohol is a factor in about a third of these crashes. This purpose of this publication is to empower criminal justice professionals to take the lead in working with others to plan a coordinated response to alcohol-related delinquency, particularly as it relates to traffic offenses.
