June 18, 2015- EMASS has exciting news from our partners at SCRAM® Systems regarding the long awaited National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) study on DUI recidivism. NHTSA conducted a study in April of 2015 focusing on technologies used to combat drunk driving. Repeat offenders nearly eliminated their use of alcohol while on these devices. In one of two jurisdictions of the study, those who wore the alcohol monitoring bracelets for a period of ninety days significantly reduced the rate of recidivism.
“The data showed that wearing CAM delayed recidivism by up to 43%, and that fewer than 2% of CAM users re-offended while being monitored. Most notably, in Nebraska, program assignment to CAM for at least 90 days was associated with 113% decreased rate of recidivism.”
