This investigation sought to test the effectiveness of a statewide ignition interlock license restriction program for drivers with multiple alcohol-related traffic offenses.
A total of 1387 multiple offenders eligible for license reinstatement were randomly assigned to participate in an ignition interlock program (experimental group) or in the conventional postlicensing treatment program (control group). The arrest rates of these 2 groups for alcohol traffic offenses were compared for 1 year during the ignition interlock license restriction program and for 1 year after unrestricted driving privileges were returned.
Participation in the interlock program reduced offenders' risk of committing an alcohol traffic violation within the first year by about 65%. The alcohol traffic violation rate during the first year was significantly less for participants in the interlock program (2.4%) than for those in the control group (6.7%). However, there was no statistically significant difference between these groups in the second year, after the interlock license restriction was lifted.
Ignition interlock license restriction programs are effective at reducing recidivism among drivers with multiple alcohol offenses, at least while the restriction is in effect.
本调查旨在测试一项针对有多次与酒精相关交通违法行为的驾驶员的全州点火联锁许可证限制计划的有效性。
共有1387名符合恢复驾照资格的多次违法者被随机分配参加点火联锁计划（实验组）或传统的驾照恢复后治疗计划（对照组）。在点火联锁许可证限制计划实施的1年期间以及恢复无限制驾驶特权后的1年里，对这两组因酒精相关交通违法行为的逮捕率进行了比较。
参加联锁计划使违法者在第一年实施酒精交通违法行为的风险降低了约65%。联锁计划参与者第一年的酒精交通违法率（2.4%）显著低于对照组（6.7%）。然而，在解除联锁许可证限制后的第二年，这两组之间没有统计学上的显著差异。
点火联锁许可证限制计划在减少多次酒精违法驾驶员的累犯方面是有效的，至少在限制有效期间如此。
