Stopping Hardcore Drunk Driving – Offenders’ Perspective on Deterrence

The Century Council remains committed to focusing on the most deadly offenders, the hardcore drunk drivers, who account for nearly six out of ten alcohol-related traffic fatalities on our nation’s roadways.  The latest effort in this fight, includes first of its kind research among actual hardcore drunk drivers.  Stopping Hardcore Drunk Driving – Offenders’ Perspective on Deterrence, is the latest research project of the National Hardcore Drunk Driver Project.  This research was conducted in partnership with the National Drug Court Institute (NDCI).  Working together, the Council surveyed DUI Court clients – hardcore drunk drivers – who provided a first hand look at their perception of being caught, convicted and sanctioned, including what sanctions and interventions might motivate them the most to change their behavior and help eliminate hardcore drunk driving on our nation’s roadways.
