Effectiveness of alcohol education programs?
Research from California proposes that alcohol education programs may not do much to prevent DUI recidivism. This study suggests that courses in the 30 - 60 hour range don't have an effect on those drivers who suffer from alcohol addiction.
In Colorado, alcohol education courses range from a minimum of 12 hours to well over 100 hours. Similar research should be done here to determine if Colorado's DUI treatment suffers the same issues as California.
