Abstract

Although several studies have examined the effectiveness of local alcohol sales policies on reducing the incidence of driving under the influence (DUI), less is known about whether characteristics of DUI offenders convicted in alcohol-restricted areas differ from those convicted in areas where alcohol is more readily available. A total of 21,647 DUI assessment records were divided into four groups based on the alcohol sales policy of the county of conviction and were compared. DUI offenders convicted in counties that limit or ban the sale of alcohol were more likely to be male, have more drug problems, meet DSM-IV-TR substance abuse or dependence criteria, and have multiple DUI convictions. Implications for practitioners and policy makers are discussed.

摘要

尽管有几项研究探讨了当地酒精销售政策在降低酒后驾车（DUI）发生率方面的有效性，但对于在酒精销售受限地区被定罪的酒后驾车罪犯的特征是否与在酒精更容易获得的地区被定罪的罪犯不同，人们了解得较少。根据定罪所在县的酒精销售政策，总共21647份酒后驾车评估记录被分为四组并进行了比较。在限制或禁止酒精销售的县被定罪的酒后驾车罪犯更有可能是男性，有更多的毒品问题，符合《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版修订版（DSM-IV-TR）的物质滥用或依赖标准，并且有多次酒后驾车定罪记录。文中还讨论了对从业者和政策制定者的启示。
