这项研究的目的是估计3，107名因驾驶而受损的罪犯在饮酒和逮捕地点之间的距离，并确定饮酒地点，驾驶员的外观（种族，年龄，性别等因素）或车辆的年龄是否会导致估计驾驶距离的任何差异。统计模型被用来确定在饮酒地点附近被捕的几率比，以及驾驶受损的英里数。独立的社会人口统计学和逮捕变量包括：年龄，性别，民族/种族，车辆年龄，饮酒地点，是否逮捕后坠毁，逮捕时间，血液酒精浓度，并在不同程度的逮捕强度的地区饮酒。与在饮酒地点附近（不到半英里）逮捕相关的变量是在高或中高逮捕强度区域饮酒，西班牙裔/墨西哥种族/国籍，美洲原住民种族和在家饮酒。在那些没有在附近被捕的人中，驾驶里程数从0.5到18.2不等，平均为3.4英里（中位数=2.6）。协方差分析表明，在他们的饮酒地点附近之外被捕的人中，在高或中高逮捕强度区域饮酒的人，血液酒精浓度大于或等于200 mg/l的人，以及在酒吧，餐馆或私人聚会饮酒的人，与其他罪犯相比，开车里程更少。我们的调查结果在种族/民族方面是混合的。年龄、性别和车龄等特征与酒后驾车者在被捕前行驶了多远无关。(C)1998爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
The objectives of the study were to estimate the distance driven between drinking and arrest locations among 3,107 offenders convicted of driving while impaired and to determine whether the drinking location, the driver's appearance (factors such as race, age, gender), or age of the vehicle account for any differences in the estimated distance driven. Statistical models were used to determine odds ratios for being arrested in the immediate vicinity of the drinking location, and for miles driven impaired. The independent sociodemographic and arrest variables included: age, gender, ethnicity/race, vehicle age, drinking location, whether the arrest followed a crash, time of arrest, blood alcohol concentration, and drinking in areas with varying levels of arrest intensity. The variables associated with arrest in the immediate vicinity of the drinking location (less than one half mile) were drinking in high or medium-high arrest intensity areas, Hispanic/Mexican ethnicity/nationality, Native American race, and drinking at home. Among those who were not arrested in the immediate vicinity, the number of miles driven ranged from 0.5 to 18.2, with a mean of 3.4 miles (median=2.6). Analysis of covariance demonstrated that among those arrested outside the immediate vicinity of their drinking locations, persons who drank in a high or medium-high arrest intensity area, those with blood alcohol concentrations of greater than or equal to 200 mg/l and those drinking at bars, restaurants, or private parties, drove fewer miles compared to other offenders. Our findings are mixed regarding ethnicity/race. Traits such as age, gender, and vehicle age are unrelated to how far drunk drivers travel before their arrests. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
