This book was released on 2011 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined participants of the DUI/ Drug Pilot Court Program located in the Eighteenth Judicial District of Sedgwick County, Kansas. A discriminant analysis was conducted to determine if age, number of days in jail, gender, fine amount, number of charges in a single stop, continuances and number of convictions were factors for predicting the outcome group for a given offender. The three outcome groups were: technical violators, new charges and successful completers group. This study also examined the differences of each group. This study utilized secondary data which was provided by the DUI Victim Center of Kansas and the District Attorney0́9s Office. The sample population consisted of 362 offenders and from that 140 cases were selected. This study evaluated the offenders at 2 years post-conviction. The participants that was used in this study were (N= 140), 85.7% (N=120) were male and 14.3% (N=20) were female. The age ranges of the participants were from 19-67 years old. Results of the discriminant analysis indicate that age, gender, number of days in jail, fine amount and number of charges were significant in determining offender outcome groups. The results also indicate that males in their late 300́9s are more likely to receive new charges while under the commitment of the court if they spent a significant amount of time in jail while awaiting treatment and rehabilitation. This study also indicates that males in their early 400́9s are receiving technical violations, but if they get into treatment and rehabilitation faster they are more likely to complete the program successfully.
Download or read book Impaired driving Program Assessments a Summary of Recommendations 1991 to 2003 written by Darrell W. Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) developed an assessment process that gives States an opportunity to conduct a review of their efforts to control impaired driving by an outside team of nationally recognized experts. Each assessment examines a State's overall program and presents recommendations to improve or enhance it. NHTSA reviewed 38 State assessment reports and found 2,982 individual recommendations, including 852 that were identified as priority recommendations by the teams. Most of the recommendations fit into 10 thematic areas: (1) increasing deterrence by prioritizing enforcement efforts and enhancing the arrest, prosecution, and adjudication process; (2) improving public information and education efforts related to prevention and deterrence; (3) remedying problems involving DUI data and records (reporting requirements, offender tracking systems, data linkages, uniform traffic citations); (4) enacting new laws or revising existing laws aimed at increasing the deterrence and/or prevention of DUI; (5) enhancing training for law enforcement, prosecution, and judicial personnel; (6) evaluating programs and activities to combat impaired driving; (7) providing sufficient resources for treatment and rehabilitation; (8) improving inter/intra-governmental coordination and cooperation; (9) providing funding (including self-sufficiency) to provide for adequate resources (personnel, equipment); and (10) developing or increasing task forces and/or community involvement.

Download or read book Assessment and Treatment of the DWI Offender written by Charles Wuth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work more effectively with DWI offenders! This valuable book provides current information on the psychological, social-demographic, and psychiatric characteristics of DWI offenders. It also will provide you with up-to-date assessment strategies that can be employed with offenders, who characteristically are resistant to such assessment. Until now, books written on this subject have focused purely on research that has been done with offenders. This book, however, provides both theoretical and applied strategies for working with this very difficult population in clinical/treatment settings. Assessment and Treatment of the DWI Offender provides practical treatment approaches such that will help you manage client resistance and incorporate family members and significant others into the treatment process to more effectively treat offenders. Assessment and Treatment of the DWI Offender examines: the important variables that separate DWI offenders from alcoholics in general, as well as the “normal” population patterns of drinking behavior among offenders the magnitude of the DWI problem in the United States the history of the DWI countermeasures movement prevention and public education organizations such as SADD, MADD, the Partners in Progress program, the College Binge Drinking Initiative, and more enforcement techniques like breath testing, standardized field sobriety tests, on-site drug detection devices, etc. problems with the tools and techniques that are currently being used to address this issue interviewing techniques that work with DWI offenders more! Intended primarily for counselors, social workers, psychologists, and other professionals who work with DWI offenders and packed with helpful and easy-to-read statistical charts and tables, this book is also essential for graduate students in psychology, social work, chemical dependency, or any of the helping professions.

Download or read book TIP 35 Enhancing Motivation for Change in Substance Use Disorder Treatment Updated 2019 written by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation is key to substance use behavior change. Counselors can support clients' movement toward positive changes in their substance use by identifying and enhancing motivation that already exists. Motivational approaches are based on the principles of person-centered counseling. Counselors' use of empathy, not authority and power, is key to enhancing clients' motivation to change. Clients are experts in their own recovery from SUDs. Counselors should engage them in collaborative partnerships. Ambivalence about change is normal. Resistance to change is an expression of ambivalence about change, not a client trait or characteristic. Confrontational approaches increase client resistance and discord in the counseling relationship. Motivational approaches explore ambivalence in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.
