Reoffending Evaluation of Alcohol Ignition interlock sentences in New Zealand- 04/08/2022

The New Zealand Government identified drink drivers as high risk and high priority area of concern in 2010, and legislation was later passed introducing Alcohol Interlock Orders (AIO) as a sentencing option in New Zealand in September 2012.

This study aimed at understanding whether reoffending rates amongst people given an AIO is different than those who do not receive such an order.
