Abstract
In Vigo County, Indiana, convicted drunk drivers are placed in varied community-based correctional programs. Two such programs are electronically monitored home detention and day reporting centers. Specifically, adult offenders convicted of drunk driving and sentenced to either program for an additional condition of their probation were the target of this study. The objective was two-fold. First, offenders who were placed in either program between February 1, 2002, and January 31, 2003, were compared in terms of exit status from the programs. Second, post-program recidivism was examined only for those offenders who successfully exited the program. Individual, case and program characteristics were gathered on 62 subjects to determine if these variables had any significant effect on program completion and subsequent post-program recidivism.
