[The irrefutable benefits of courses for alcohol intoxicated drivers]

Abstract

The benefit of courses for alcohol conspicuous drivers, as it is shown by Winkler et al. in a careful and clear manner, still is to be considered as not refuted so far. The participants in courses (experimental group), who according to their situation were supposed to have a substantial higher rate of recidivism, had an actual recidivism-rate, which was significantly lower than the rate of the control group. Interpreting the present scientific literature correctly, Hundhausen's (1989) five main arguments against the results of Winkler et al., which all his further conclusions depend on, are not right.
