Question:
The purpose of DUI (driving under influence) statutes is to reduce the propensity of drunk driving not only in convicted offenders but also in the general public. Some studies, however, show that these laws only affect the decision-making process of those least likely to drink and drive. Therefore, the behavior of hardcore drinkers is not typically influenced by the threat of punishment that these laws are meant to create. (40 points)
2A- Using specific examples, explain the specific and general deterrence that DUI statutes intend to create.
2B- Propose some alternative ideas for addressing problem drinkers (i.e., crime prevention strategies targeting hardcore drinkers).
