The report presents preliminary data about the relationship between community service sentencing, traffic offenders and highway safety. Community service sentencing means that an offender is required to perform unpaid service for a governmental or non-profit organization as punishment for a traffic offense. Traffic offenders were defined in two categories: a category of serious offenses including drinking driving, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, vehicular homicide, and driving while license was suspended; all other moving violations were collapsed into another category. The report covers the following material: (1) review of the literature, (2) review of the files of the national assessment of adult restitution programs to determine the experiences of these projects with traffic offenders, (3) survey of the intake of nine community service sentencing projects for the first quarter, 1980, to gather field data regarding traffic offenders served by these projects, (4) survey of judges in the nine projects to ascertain their views about the appropriateness of community service sentencing for traffic offenders, and (5) determination of whether any section 402 moneys were used to fund community service sentencing programs.
