Author	Basford, Sara M.
Title	Recidivism among DUI/DWI probationers
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2009
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	Statistics show that drunk driving is a significant problem in the United States. The purpose of this study was to assess the recidivism rate of DUI/DWI offenders who have been placed on probation for an earlier DUI/DWI conviction. This study looked at those factors that contribute to recidivism among this population such as age, gender, race, demographics and the number of prior arrests. The study employed a secondary analysis of data and the sample consisted of 505 DUI/DWI offenders who were on probation in the State of Connecticut. Of the 505 probationers, 6% received a probation violation in the first six months of their probation sentence. The only demographic factor related to violations was employment status; probationers with long periods of unemployment were most likely to receive a probation violation. Gender, race, and amount of education were not related to recidivism yet prior substance abuse treatment was related to recidivism. Probationers who had been in treatment five or more times were likely to receive a probation violation. Last, prior failure to appear charges for not showing up for court and high Level of Service Inventory (revised) risk assessment scores were most correlated with probation violations. This study found that DUI/DWI offenders who recidivated in the first six months of their probation were more often unemployed, had several stays in substance abuse treatment, had already missed court dates, and had an array social/personal needs. These findings support other research on DUI/DWI offenders that recommend a blended version of supervision and treatment. Also, more consideration should be given for a variety of treatment for high needs offenders. Rather than simply refer DUI/DWI offenders to outpatient treatment, judges and probation officers should consider conducting more thorough risk assessments at the beginning of offenders’ probation sentence and place probationers in more needs-specific treatment.
