DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this paper, I exploit a quasi-random variation in state-level laws that prohibit drunk driving (DUI) checkpoints to estimate the causal effect of DUI checkpoints on traffic fatalities, traffic arrests, and self-reported drunk driving. Leveraging data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System, I find a 12.5% increase in drunk driving related traffic fatalities within the first five years of a DUI checkpoint ban. Turning to data from the Uniform Crime Report and Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, I find a persistent increase in DUI arrests and a short-run increase in self-reported drunk driving. Together, these findings suggest that DUI checkpoints have a general deterrent effect in reducing drunk driving. Back-of-the-envelope calculations suggest that a federal ban of DUI checkpoints would lead to an annual cost of approximately $6.4 billion.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPolicing and Punishing the Drinking Driver is at one level about the impact of specific drinking-driving countermeasures (punishments imposed by courts on convicted offenders and random breath testing) in a particular place (New South Wales, Australia) in two particular years (1972 and 1983). At another level, however, the research reported herein is concerned with general questions of deterrence, and with the impact of the criminal justice system on the perception and behavior of a broad cross-section of the population. In contrast to much of the research in the drink-drive field, the research questions concentrate on the psychological and sociological processes whereby behavior is altered in the short-term as the result of a massive legal intervention or as the result of the routine imposition of legal punishments.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe author of this book argues that drunk driving is more than just a criminal issue. He offers a practical approach to the problem of drunk driving, one that combines criminal deterence with other efforts to reduce the number of deaths caused by drivers under the influence of alcohol.
