ANNOTATION: “Despite the reduction in the number of drunk driving deaths [from 2002 to 2008], additional changes in policies and practices are needed in order to further reduce the extent of drunk driving. Using principles of evidence-based practices, in this project the American Probation and Parole Association conducted a risk assessment study to develop a pilot risk assessment instrument that can be used to identify convicted offenders who are at an increased risk for future drunk driving.” Sections following an executive summary include: introduction; risk assessment issues—what is risk and risk assessment; DWI [driving with intoxicated] instruments and alcohol screening instruments—the predictive and the un-predictive; criminological theory—brief introduction; findings; and discussion about future steps.
