Over 17,000 people die each year as a result of preventable alcohol-related crashes. While 1.4 million people are arrested for DUI, there are nearly 159 million others who self-confess to DUI each year. Within three years of being arrested, three-fourths of offenders will be rearrested for DUI. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate the predictable failure of current criminal justice standards, and the hope and promise of a new wave of justice – restorative. Restorative justice focuses on healing the injustice of the crime through direct person-to-person interaction in several different ways –community reparative boards, family conferences, mediations, and victim impact panels. Research is based on a relatively current compilation of national and international studies regarding DUI cases, criminal justice standards, and restorative justice initiatives. Finally, and most importantly, this project presents an adaptable model for dealing with drunken driving offenders, both first-time and repeat offenders, using restorative measures as an effective means of curbing the number of deaths, decreasing recidivism rates, and drastically reducing the number of DUI cases, all while restoring the victim, offender, and community to its original state before DUI tragedies occur.

He questions the current dependence on certain quantifiable indicators that may leave out certain aspects that create healing and "success" in a restorative programme. No publisher james Evaluation Practice 2005-08-26T11:10:35Z Page http://www.restorativejustice.org/10fulltext/cannonandrew The Nunga Court was initiated by Chris Vass SM in South Australia and has been copied with variations to suit local Aboriginal communities around the country. Its success is due to two key factors. One is the involvement of respected community elders to advise the court and to counsel the defendant, including elements of shaming, by making him or her realise the impact of the crime on his or her community. The other is a change of style by the magistrate, who participates more and takes and gives advice. The process is by both these changes is more relevant to the Aboriginal community and less alienating to the defendant. However, the process is defendant focussed, has depended on a few Magistrates who have specialised in this work, and has been relatively time intensive for the Magistrates.

To do that he imagines an international coalition of many groups and individuals, and suggests what that coalition's mission and key strategic goals might be.
