THE SPECIAL PREVENTION EFFECT OF A PRISON FOR DRUNKEN DRIVERS

IN THIS PAPER THE RESULTS WERE PRESENTED OF A STUDY TO INVESTIGATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A SPECIAL PRISON FOR DRUNKEN DRIVERS IN THE NETHERLANDS. THE RECIDIVISM RATES OF TWO MATCHED GROUPS OF DRUNKEN DRIVERS SENTENCED TO IMPRISONMENT WERE COMPARED. ONE GROUP HAD SERVED ITS SENTENCE IN A SPECIAL PRISON FOR DRUNKEN DRIVERS, CALLED BANKENBOS. THE OTHER GROUP WAS SENT TO A MORE TRADITIONAL PRISON. TWO YEARS AFTER DETENTION NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN RECIDIVISION WAS FOUND FOR THE TWO GROUPS. /AUTHOR/
