Samenvatting
During the 1980s, substantial and unprecedented reductions in the magnitude of the alcohol-crash problem were realised in Canada as well as in many other nations around the world. Since then, international attention has focused on that group of drinking drivers believed to be primarily responsible for the problem that remains driving while impaired (DWI) repeat offenders. This report provides a comprehensive review of the literature on this high-risk group of drinking drivers as a means to: identify and summarise the characteristics of DWI repeat offenders; review existing countermeasure initiatives for dealing with DWI repeat offenders; and develop recommendations for dealing effectively with this high-risk group.
