Abstract: This study explores the dispositions
of subjects arrested in Anchorage, Alaska during 1996 for driving
while intoxicated (DWI). The project was designed to describe
the Anchorage criminal justice system’s processing of DWI
offenders and to isolate legal and extralegal variables that
predict various offender dispositions. This report presents a
literature review of studies relating to legal and extra-legal
factors affecting court processing of offenders; discusses methodologies
of the present study; presents flow charts of DWI arrestee processing
in Anchorage; and presents the multivariate analysis that isolates
significant correlates of DWI arrest disposition.
