abstract="This article provides an evaluation of the long-term effectiveness of the Alcohol  Ignition Interlock Programme (AIIP) on recidivism. A retrospective cohort design was  used to compare the known reoffending behaviour of 1676 AIIP participants with that  of 907 persons in a control group, consisting of offenders who committed an  AIIP-worthy driving-under-the-influence (DUI) offence that was not reported to the  Dutch driving license authority. Persons in the control group were not sanctioned  with an AIIP, but had their case settled in the criminal court. Our outcome measure  was the percentage of offenders who committed at least one new DUI offence within  the follow-up period. <br><br>RESULTS indicate that the percentage of repeat offenders in  the AIIP group was lower than in the control group. Additional analyses indicate  that were an AIIP to be imposed alongside a criminal settlement, a recidivism  reduction of 4 percentage points (4 % versus 8 %) could be expected. This would  translate to a relative decrease of 54 %. Explanations for these findings are  discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
