Only 11 (2.5%) of the interlock offender group were rearrestedfor DWI while interlocks were installed, whereas 1,017 (8.1%) of the comparison group were rearrested during an equivalent 322-day period. Regression analysis revealed a 65% reduction in recidivism among treatment group which remained constant thereafter at a 4 year followup.
