C'de Baca, J.; Lapham, S. C.; Liang, H. C.; and Skipper, B. J. Journal of Studies on Alcohol, vol. 62, pgs. 615-620 (2001) Objective : To examine gender differences and re-arrest rates of first-time and repeat offenders following referral to Victim Impact Panels (VIPs). Method : Study participants ( N =6,702; 79% men) were first-time and repeat driving-while-impaired offenders who were referred to and completed a screening program in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, from 1989 to 1994. Whether subjects were mandated to attend a VIP was self-reported in a personal interview. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to test the effects of VIP referral and other predictors of recidivism. Separate models were developed for female and male first-time and repeat offenders.
