背景：我们研究了酒后驾车（DUI）罪犯延迟复职的程度，延迟的原因，以及延迟与累犯的关系。分析了来自7个最大州的4 000万名司机（300万人被判酒后驾车）的驾驶记录，时间跨度为7至14年。吊销执照有效地减少了，但不能消除，受损的驾驶。显然，许多人认为他们可以避免逮捕无证驾驶;有限的研究迄今表明，高达75%的被定罪的罪犯继续驾驶和高达84%的延迟恢复为3年或以上years.Methods：方差分析和回归程序被用来确定先前的驾驶记录和刑期的关系DUI罪犯的延迟恢复。荟萃分析被用来总结结果在7个国家和生存分析，以确定延迟对recidivism.Results的影响：42%的初犯和55%的多名罪犯被定罪DUI延迟恢复超过一年。对于三分之一的罪犯，没有记录表明他们在获得资格后的5年内恢复了原职。这两个因素-一个以上的先前的进攻和暂停施加的长度-都与延迟恢复。延迟复职的罪犯更有可能累犯，而他们延迟之前恢复和恢复后，他们reinstated.Conclusions：DUI罪犯谁延迟恢复后，他们成为合格的高风险司机。然而，那些复职的罪犯比那些没有复职的罪犯的累犯率要低。这表明，鼓励恢复但持续控制（正如一些州通过法律规定的那样，要求将联锁作为恢复的条件），如果不会引发长时间的延误，可能是有效的。
Background:We examined the extent to which driving under the influence (DUI) offenders delay reinstatement, the reasons for that delay, and the relationship of the delay to recidivism. Analyzed were the driving records of 40 million drivers (3 million convicted of DUI) from 7 of the largest states spanning 7 to 14 years. License suspension effectively reduces, but does not eliminate, impaired driving. Apparently, many feel they can avoid apprehension for unlicensed driving; the limited research to date suggests that up to 75% of convicted offenders continue to drive and up to 84% delay reinstatement for 3 or more years.Methods:ANOVA and regression procedures were used to determine the relationship of prior driving record and sentence length to the DUI offender's delay in reinstatement. Meta-analysis was used to summarize results across the 7 states and survival analysis to determine the effect of the delay on recidivism.Results:Forty-two percent of first offenders and 55% of multiple offenders convicted for DUI delay reinstatement for more than a year. For a third of the offenders, there were no records of their having reinstated within 5 years of becoming eligible. Both factors-more than one prior offense and the length of suspension imposed-were related to delay in reinstatement. Offenders who delayed reinstatement were more likely to recidivate both while they delayed before reinstating and after they reinstated.Conclusions:DUI offenders who delay reinstatement after they become eligible are high-risk drivers. Offenders who reinstate, however, have lower recidivism rates than those who do not. This suggests that encouraging reinstatement but with continued controls, as some states have provided through laws requiring interlocks as a condition of reinstatement, may be effective if they do not motivate extended delays.
