Summary

<U+2026>.”The objective of this DUIL [Driving Under the Influence of Liquor] study was to determine the age and sex distribution of drunk driver defendants in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and to assess the incidence of simultaneous offenses by age. ][ This study was modeled after a February, 1979 DUIL research project, and was undertaken to assess any shifts in age of defendants since the enactment of Massachusetts legislation (S. 1727, amended) which raised the legal drinking age from 18 to 20 years as of April l16, 1979.”; “In light of the new legislation which raised the legal drinking age in the Commonwealth, the study asked the questions: 1. What is the average age of drunk driver defendants in the state? 2. What percent of those charged with drunk driving are under the new legal drinking age? 3. Is there any age linkage to simultaneous offenses; that is, do certain types of additional charges occur more frequently among certain age groups? 4. Has the new legislation reduced the frequency of drunk driving among teenagers?”; [teenagers, alcohol, drinking, crime, crimes]<U+2026>.
