受害者影响小组（VIP）是一个由三个或四个发言者组成的小组，他们严重受伤或其亲人在醉酒驾驶（DWI）事故中丧生。贵宾介绍个人的故事，以DWI罪犯的主要目标是减少DWI累犯。这项研究比较了在俄勒冈州和加州参加VIP的2,000多名DWI罪犯的面板前DWI率和面板后累犯率。相同的比率进行比较，年龄性别匹配的控制组的司机。对照组受试者在同一时间段在相同的州被判DWI，但没有被命令参加VIP。还研究了683个未显示的数据。结果表明，虽然在俄勒冈州的VIP出席者有一个较低的再犯率比他们匹配的对照组，出席者的再犯率没有显着差异，没有显示出的年龄性别匹配的控制组。在加州，VIP组和未出现组或两个对照组之间的再犯率没有差异。VIP可能是更成熟的罪犯（35岁以上）更有效的工具。最后，对VIP的有效性不足进行了说明，并提出了改进的建议。
The Victim Impact Panel (VIP) is a group of three or four speakers who were seriously injured or whose loved one was killed in a driving while intoxicated (DWI) crash. VIPs present personal stories to DWI offenders with the primary goal of reducing DWI recidivism. This study compares the pre-panel DWI rates with the post-panel recidivism rates of over 2,000 DWI offenders who attended VIPs in Oregon and California. The same rates are compared to the rates of age-sex matched control groups of drivers. The control subjects were convicted of DWI in the same states at the same time period, but were not ordered to attend the VIP. Data for 683 no-shows were also studied. The results reveal that, although in Oregon the VIP attendees had a lower rate of recidivism than their matched control group, the recidivism rate of attendees was not different than that of the no-shows or the age-sex matched control group for the no-shows. In California, no differences were observed in recidivism rates between the VIP group and either the no-show group or the two control groups. VIPs may be a more effective tool for more mature offenders (those 35+ years old). Explanations on the lack of effectiveness of the VIP and suggestions for improvement of the process are offered.
