Conclusions Demographics of DWI offenders in New Mexico
remain constant between the years-Males are younger than Females when convicted of DWI
Offenders require more than one year for full completion of sanctions
Multiple offenders usually recidivate within same county
Further study needs to examine drinking patterns regarding monthly alcohol use
