TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Recidivism among drunken and drugged drivers in Norway JO - Alcohol and alcoholism A1 - Christophersen, Asbjørg S. A1 - Beylich, K. M. A1 - Bjørnboe, A A1 - Skurtveit, Svetlana A1 - Mørland, J SP - 609 EP - 611 VL - 31 IS - 6 N2 - The prevalence of re-arrest among drunken drivers in relation to different blood alcohol concentrations (BAC) at the time of the offences was studied. Between 38 and 50% of arrested drunk drivers were re-arrested for similar offences. The frequency of re-arrests was, however, reduced during 1992 compared with a986, but only significantly for those with a low BAC interval (60-90 mg/d). We conclude that drivers with high re-arrest rates have a careless attitude to the Road Traffic Act and require a different treatment and follow-up programme.
