Drunk Driving in America Strategies and Approaches to Treatment 1st Edition

This unique volume discusses research, policy, and treatment approaches to one of America’s most serious problems–the drunk driver. The authors–many of the countries most dedicated professionals from academic, research, correctional, public health, and judicial system backgrounds–present an extraordinary array of creative and thought-provoking approaches to the drunk driver. Their thorough descriptions will help you better understand the drunk driver, and their exploration of new sentencing and treatment strategies provides a comprehensive look at the options to confronting and solving the problem of alcohol and traffic safety in the United States. Chapters challenge many long-held assumptions about those who drink and drive; address policy issues; examine the need for culturally specific education and training programs for police, court officials, and human service providers; and offer helpful suggestions for designing programs for women and adolescent offenders.
