STEPS educates drivers on alcohol awareness in Kern County
STEPS and Cal State Bakersfield sociology Professor Dr. Dan McMillian released findings at a news conference last Wednesday showing the alcohol education program, started in 1971 as Kern County Traffic School, reduces repeat DUI violations. Executive Director Dr. Vincent Ray praised community focus while noting fees fund the classes and taxpayers gain safety benefits. McMillian’s year long follow ups indicate 7 percent complete the program and risk of再offending drops, while noncompleters face much higher reoffense rates. programs serve about 240 first-offender and 40-50 second-offender participants monthly.
