The report summarizes the results of a field test of attempting to achieve driving while intoxicated (DWI) general deterrence by combining enforcement efforts with public information and education (PI&E) activities designed to heighten public awareness of the specific enforcement techniques being employed. The intent was to thereby increase the general driving public's perceived risk of arrest for DWI, deter them from that behavior and in turn affect alcohol-related crashes. Such a program was implemented in Boise City, Idaho. Public awareness and alcohol-related and nighttime crash statistics were monitored both there and in a comparison jurisdiction (Billings, Montana).
