Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Because research indicates that alcohol interlocks can reduce impaired driving by approximately 64%, a growing number of states are implementing legislation that also gives first-time offenders the option to install the devices. One state in the vanguard is Illinois, a standout for its management techniques in ensuring the effort's successful implementation. This article provides an overview of the development of Illinois' alcohol interlock program, which began in 1994 and added first-time offenders in 2007.
