简介：点火联锁在减少酒后驾驶方面的有效性受到醉酒驾驶 (DWI) 罪犯逃避法院安装该装置的命令的能力的限制。方法：在新墨西哥州的一个试点项目中，四名圣达菲县法官对声称没有汽车或无意开车的罪犯实施家庭监禁（通过电子监控手环）。将圣达菲县联锁安装率与新墨西哥州所有其他县在两年计划和两年计划后期间的安装率进行了比较。结果：在两个计划实施期间，圣达菲县被判醉驾的司机中有 70% 安装了连锁装置，而其他县只有 17%，但当计划终止时，圣达菲的安装率下降了 18.8 个百分点。摘要：强制实施软禁替代制裁导致酒驾罪犯安装联锁装置率最高。对行业的影响：酒后驾驶对雇主来说是一笔巨大的开支，特别是当它禁止干扰就业的驾驶时。联锁装置提供了一种保护公众的方法，同时允许罪犯清醒驾驶。这项研究旨在增加醉酒驾驶罪犯使用联锁装置。 (C) 2009 年国家安全委员会和 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Introduction: The effectiveness of ignition interlocks at reducing drunk driving has been limited by the ability of driving-while-intoxicated (DWI) offenders to avoid court orders to install the devices. Methods: In a pilot program in New Mexico, four Santa Fe County judges imposed home confinement (via electronic monitoring bracelets) on offenders who claimed to have no car or no intention to drive. Interlock installation rates for Santa Fe County were compared with all other counties in New Mexico over a 2-year program and 2-year post-program period. Results: During the two program years, 70% of the drivers convicted of DWI in Santa Fe County installed interlocks, compared to only 17% in the other counties, but when the program was terminated, the Santa Fe installation rate fell by 18.8 percentage points. Summary: Mandating the alternative sanction of house arrest led to the highest reported interlock installation rate for DWI offenders. Impact on Industry: impaired driving is a substantial expense to employers, particularly when it bars driving that interferes with employment. Interlocks provide a method of protecting the public while permitting the offender to drive sober. This study was directed at increasing interlock use by DWI offenders.
