EVALUATION OF A DAY REPORTING CENTER FOR REPEAT DWI OFFENDERS

This report describes and evaluates the effectiveness of a Day Reporting Center (DRC) in reducing the driving while intoxicated (DWI) recidivism of repeat DWI offenders. It also examines the effect of the DRC program in reducing the cost of post-conviction sanctioning operations, and in relieving the pressures on jail facilities in carrying out the court-imposed sanctions. It was found that the DRC program was no more effective in reducing recidivism than was a comparison standard probation program in use by the study jurisdiction. However, the DRC program was more cost-effective and helped reduce pressure on an already over-taxed county jail system.
