Since 1999, Taiwan has officially included drunk driving in the criminal law. Since then, due to several serious accidents that shocked society, the penalty limit has been repeatedly raised. Drunk driving criminals become the target of public criticism and are gradually expelled from the social network. There is still doubt whether increasing penalties will help deter recidivism. This study designed a questionnaire based on the theory of reintegrative shaming theory, defiance theory, and age-graded informal social control theory. It targeted a total of 209 offenders from 11 district prosecutor’s offices who violated Criminal Code Article 185-3, Item 1, of being unable to drive safely. Participants are surveyed to understand their thoughts and feelings while performing their community service. The results show that the sample is mainly middle-aged and middle-aged, has common recidivism, and has characteristics such as unstable marriage and employment. The results of multiple regression analysis found that family, work attachment and respect play a positive and critical role in the reintegration into society. Open-ended question revealed that offenders feel that compared to serving time in prison, community service has a more positive reintegration function and helps them reflect on their wrong behaviors. The study suggests that elements such as personal self-image repair, civil engagement and positive interaction should be included in the formulation and law enforcement methods of strengthening social safety net policies to prevent drunk driving, which can make up for the lack of deterrence. |
