Understanding the Criminal Justice System
The song says, “it’s the most wonderful time of the year,” but it’s one of the most dangerous times of the year too. As travel and socializing increase exponentially between Thanksgiving and Christmas, so does drunk driving fatalities. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Christmas period sees an average of 45 fatalities involving drunk drivers each day. The average rises to 54 per day over the New Year’s holiday.
DUI arrests surge during this season as well. Indiana police departments typically send officers out in force throughout the holiday season to ensure that the roads remain as safe as possible.
