abstract="A common observation in most Canadian jurisdictions is that enforcement agencies are substituting short-term (12, 24 hour) administrative licence suspensions for a more rigorous criminal processing of drinking and driving offenders. In most jurisdictions, no follow-up action is associated with short-term suspensions. This action is therefore viewed as a slap on the wrist for impaired drivers. This is a view that is equally shared by enforcement agencies and road safety administrators. The auhors use Saskatchewan records to explore the frequency distribution of the number of 24-hour suspensions accumulated by experienced drivers. For multiple offenders, they shall investigate the distribution of the inter-arrival time between offences. They shall also look the nature of any relationships between short-term suspensions and Criminal Code convictions. They shall undertake a similar analysis for new drivers and compare the two groups of drivers.<p />",
