Abstract
Remedial programs for traffic offenders, other than specialised programs directed at drink driving offenders, do not evaluate well. This study aimed to identify issues that could impact on the measured outcome effectiveness of such general programs by examining offense variability and licensing differences in a cohort of attendees at the Traffic Offender Intervention Program used in New South Wales, Australia. The program delivers the same “one size fits all” content to all offenders despite their diverse offending histories, a wide spectrum of offenses, and differing driving experience. Research to examine the content of programs, to trial targeted offense interventions, and to develop specialised units using internet delivery is recommended.
