英国における飲酒運転対策

—再犯抑止のための講習について—

抄録

The present report described drink driving intervention in Great Britain, focusing on the Drink Drive Rehabilitation （DDR） course.　The statutory prescribed limit in Great Britain is 0.8 mg of alcohol in 1 ml of blood, which is higher than the legal limit in many other developed countries. In Great Britain, at the time of sentencing for a drink drive offence, a court can order an offender to be referred to an approved DDR course.　Whether the offender participates in the course is optional.　If the offender completes the DDR course successfully, then the period of disqualification can be reduced by no more than one quarter of the original disqualified period.　The aim of the DDR course is to support changes in the recognition and behaviours of offenders.　DDR courses are delivered by various DDR course providers, including probation services, social services and charities.　Typically, the course is carried out interactively in a relaxed atmosphere.　The course was confirmed to be effective in preventing reoffence.　The main differences between Great Britain and Japan in drink driving intervention are that, in Great Britain, the background of course providers is heterogeneous, that participation in course is optional, and that there is a scheme to classify offenders.
