“…Once we have contextualized the legal framework of recidivism, it is important to highlight that, with the aim of enhancing the development of preventive and rehabilitative measures, some studies have claimed about the need to know what the most usually associated variables (or 'correlates') of the repetition of the offending behavior in the field of traffic (DeMichele & Payne, 2013;Nagin & Pogarsky, 2001) are. Although the evidence is still scarce in this regard, it seems clear that sanctions and other enforcement-related measures keep a certain efficacy, but psychosocial issues (such as law knowledge, risk perception, and attitudes towards road safety) may also play a relevant role in explaining a greater or lesser involvement in certain risky driving behaviors commonly performed by recidivist offenders (Goncalves & Mello, 2017;Wieczorek, 2013).…”

The core aim of this study was to examine the predictive role of demographic, psychosocial and driving features of Spanish drivers on their risk perception over recidivist traffic offenders, focusing on gender as a key differentiating factor. Method: For this cross-sectional study, it was analyzed the data gathered from a nationwide sample of 1,711 licensed drivers from the 17 regions of Spain (49% females, 51% males) with a mean age of 40.07 years, responding to a telephone-based interview on road safety issues. Demographic, drivingrelated and psychosocial factors were comparatively analyzed through robust tests and a bias-corrected MGSEM (Multi-Group Structural Equation Modeling) approach. Results: The findings of this study indicate that drivers' age, driving exposure, traffic law knowledge, their assessment of both enforcement and reeducation, and the number of traffic fines they have received, explain the risk perceived in recidivist traffic offenders. Secondly, and in regard to structural differences, three study variables, i.e., driving exposure, need for enforcement and traffic law knowledge, have shown to exert a differential influence on risk perception according to drivers' gender. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that both psychosocial and driving-related features differentially predict drivers' risk perception over recidivist traffic offenders between male and female drivers. This research supports the need of fostering the emphasis on gender, in order to strengthen driving education, re-education, and training processes aimed at facing and preventing recidivism in the field of traffic and mobility.

“…Wieczorek (, this issue), in the second policy essay, points out that the criminal justice approach to DUI has traditionally been based on deterrence theory (i.e., the likelihood of being caught, the swiftness of punishment, and the severity of sanctions). He focuses on the importance of general deterrence versus specific deterrence policies.…”
