    • Psychology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Driving while intoxicated (DWI) is a significant public safety concern with complex underlying factors.
    • Understanding the life trajectories of individuals convicted of DWI is crucial for effective prevention and intervention strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the life histories of men convicted for DWI with a control group from similar neighborhoods.
    • To identify childhood and adolescent predictors associated with DWI convictions.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative study using interviews, questionnaires, and agency records.
    • Analysis of demographic, criminal history, and personal background data.

    Main Results:

    • Men convicted for DWI were more prone to serious criminal convictions and alcoholism.

  • Compared to controls, DWI offenders showed less childhood insecurity but more adolescent exposure to inconsiderate, aggressive parental behavior and conflict.
  • DWI offenders displayed consistent self-confidence from childhood through middle age.

    • Conclusions:

    • DWI convictions are linked to a pattern of antisocial behavior rather than isolated lapses in self-control.
    • Parental factors during adolescence significantly correlate with later DWI convictions.
    • The self-confident and independent traits observed in DWI offenders may mask underlying behavioral issues.
