RANDOMIZED SANCTIONS TO REDUCE DRUNK DRIVING RECIDIVISM

描述(改编自申请人的摘要)：建议的研究是一个 不同制裁措施效果的前瞻性、随机性比较 减少醉酒影响下重复驾驶的累犯率 (DUII)在俄勒冈州马特诺马州巡回法院传讯的罪犯 县(法院)。这项研究将测试现有的 对酒后驾车违法者的判刑/监测方案。四个干预组 将受到以下处罚，外加监禁、治疗和执照 撤销：第一组--呼吸测试电子监测+强化 缓刑；第2组--要求出售所有违法者拥有的机动车+ 强化缓刑；第三组--电子监护和呼吸测试+ 要求出售所有违法者拥有的汽车+密集缓刑；以及 第四组--单独进行强化缓刑。所有屡教不改者将有资格 如果他们不是暴力的，就参与进来。假设是第三组 参与者将拥有最低的再犯罪率。结果衡量标准包括 罪犯是否违反缓刑，违反缓刑的次数， 在接下来的两年里因酒后驾车被捕和其他交通逮捕 随机化和量刑。研究参与者的结果也将是 与由不同法官传讯的合适群体的 波特兰，或，通常不会判处罪犯电子化的地区 通过呼气测试进行监测，要求出售其车辆，或判处 罪犯被正式缓刑。在准实验研究中，交通 第二次及以上酒驾违法者的结果将与研究结果进行比较。 参与者。对于随机研究，参与者将在以下位置接受采访 基线，以及I和2年后随机分组。组内比较将 在基线和干预后研究变量之间绘制酒精和 毒品使用和后果，酒后驾驶行为和态度， 精神问题的症状，以及亲社会行为。最后，这个过程 将进行评估，以监测干预措施并使之能够复制 其他司法管辖区的议定书。

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from applicant's abstract): The proposed study is a prospective, randomized comparison of the efficacy of different sanctions for reducing recidivism among repeat driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII) offenders arraigned in the Circuit Court, State of Oregon for Multnomah County (the Court). The study will test components of an existing sentencing/monitoring program for DUII offenders. The four intervention groups will receive the following sanctions plus jail time, treatment, and license revocation: Group I--electronic monitoring with breath testing + intensive probation; Group 2--required sale of all offender-owned motor vehicles + intensive probation; Group 3--electronic monitoring with breath testing + required sale of all offender-owned motor vehicles + intensive probation; and Group 4--intensive probation alone. All repeat offenders will be eligible to participate if they are not violent. The hypothesis is that Group 3 participants will have the lowest recidivism rates. Outcome measures include whether the offender violates probation, number of probation violations, arrests for DUII, and other traffic arrests in the 2 years following randomization and sentencing. Outcomes of study participants also will be compared with those of a suitable group arraigned by different judges in the Portland, OR, area who typically do not sentence offenders to electronic monitoring with breath testing, require sale of their vehicle, or sentence offenders to formal probation. In the quasi-experimental study, traffic outcomes of 2nd and above DUII offenders will be compared with those of study participants. For the randomized study, participants will be interviewed at baseline, and I and 2 years after randomization. Within-group comparisons will be drawn between baseline and post-intervention study variables for alcohol and drug use and consequences, drinking and driving behavior and attitudes, symptoms of psychiatric problems, and prosocial behaviors. Finally, the process will be evaluated to monitor the interventions and to enable replication of the protocol in other jurisdictions.
