The lives of men convicted for driving while intoxicated (DWI) were compared with those of other men who spent their childhoods in the same neighborhoods. The comparisons were based on interviews, questionnaires and agency records. Although not distinguishable by their age at first conviction, the men convicted for DWI were more likely to have been convicted for serious crimes. They were also more likely to be alcoholics. As children, they were less likely to have appeared to be insecure or dependent. During adolescence, those who would later be convicted for DWI were more likely to have parents who were inconsiderate and aggressive, and who fought with one another. The men convicted for drunken driving seemed independent and relatively self-confident, both during early childhood and in middle age. Their history of antisocial behavior belies a view that these men have inadvertently risked the safety of others during an unaccustomed lapse in self-control.
研究人员将因醉酒驾车（DWI）而被定罪的男性的生活与那些在相同社区度过童年的其他男性的生活进行了比较。这些比较基于访谈、问卷调查和机构记录。虽然初次定罪时他们的年龄并无差异，但因醉酒驾车被定罪的男性更有可能曾因严重罪行被定罪。他们也更有可能是酗酒者。小时候，他们看起来不太可能缺乏安全感或有依赖性。在青少年时期，那些后来因醉酒驾车被定罪的人，其父母更有可能是不顾及他人且有攻击性的，而且父母之间还会相互争斗。那些因醉酒驾车被定罪的男性在幼儿期和中年期似乎都很独立且相对自信。他们的反社会行为历史与这样一种观点相悖，即这些男性是在不习惯的自我控制失误期间无意中危及了他人的安全。
