Annotation and Abstract
The National Traffic Law Center of the American Prosecutors Research Institute developed this manual to help prosecutors prove prior driving under the influence (DUI) convictions from other jurisdictions.

The manual contains the following information prosecutors need to prove prior DUI convictions: how to obtain an out-of- state driving record, what type of information is on the driving record, court contacts, relevant case law, and DUI statutes. The driving record section contains addresses and telephone numbers of State agencies where driving records can be obtained. The court section lists addresses and telephone numbers of court administrators who can assist in identifying the court in which the prior conviction was entered. State DUI statutes are listed, and sample forms for requesting DUI court conviction records and driving records are included. ... Read more

From the author: Objective: Various interventions have been implemented as components of sentencing for driving under the influence of alcohol. This study assessed the effectiveness of the Victim Impact Panel (VIP) in reducing the probability of an offender being rearrested for drinking and driving. Method: The study was conducted in an urban/suburban county in the Southeastern United States. Rearrest rates of DUI offenders who attended a VIP presentation as part of their sentencing (n = 404) were compared with an equivalent comparison group (n = 431) who did not have the VIP presentation. Arrest records of offenders were searched and rearrest rates (%) were calculated for the periods 0-6 months, 7-12 months, and 0-12 months after the arrest. Results: Chi-square cross-tabulations indicate that rearrest rates were lower for the VIP group than the comparison group in all categories. Three categories where the differences were significant and of the greatest magnitude were white men, ages 26-35 years, and one prior DUI arrest. Additionally, logistic regression was used to compare the importance of specific independent variables on rearrest. Whether or not a subject was in the VIP group was the most powerful contributor to the results. Conclusions: After considering alternative explanations for the results, we conclude that the VIPs can be a cost-effective way of reducing the probability of rearrest in DUI offenders. When costs of DUI in human misery and dollars are considered, the potential benefits of large-scale implementation of VIP programs appear to be well worth the effort. (J. Stud. Alcohol 60: 514-520, 1999)

Many people think that being stopped by the police for driving while intoxicated/driving under the influence or reckless driving is no big deal. But, the truth is, these offenses are much more serious than most people realize. Criminal/traffic defense is a very specialized area of the law.
