This manual is designed to empower criminal justice professionals
to take the lead in working with others to plan a coordinated
response to alcohol-related delinquency, particularly as it
relates to traffic offenses.
Abstract
Part I, "Building Programs That Work," presents overall strategy
and individual steps that the police chief or other local justice
official can use to lead the implementation of those components
that will work best in the local community. Part II, "The Eight
Foundation Elements of a Successful DUI (Driving Under the
Influence) Strategy," presents the building blocks of the
comprehensive Juvenile DUI Enforcement Program. Each block or
element combines with others to create a multidisciplinary
program that unites the local justice system with social services
and the private sector. Included are short descriptions of
innovative programs designed to prevent juveniles from driving
under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Part III, "Support
Tools for Building Programs That Work," contains policies,
procedures, press releases, and other information the executive
can use to facilitate the process of implementing the eight
foundation elements. Part IV, "Leadership Roles for Officials,"
presents three action-oriented papers that address police,
prosecutors, and judges, each written by a current or former
official from these disciplines. The papers describe why
leadership by each of these three professionals is essential to
the implementation of the eight foundation elements in the
community. The papers also describe approaches that have worked
well for the authors and their colleagues.
