Why have DUIs increased since the 1970s? Is it because more people are deciding to drive drunk even though more people are educated now about the risks? Or is it because law enforcements attitude has changed over time?
I’m inclined to say that it is because law enforcements attitude has changed. Due to changes in social policies, drivers these days face increased scrutiny and less leeway when it comes to dealing with police officers. Law enforcement officers are expected to arrest more drunk drivers than they were two decades ago. Also, the state has lowered the BAC level from .10 to .08, therefore increasing the number of drivers who are now considered to be driving under the influence.
Even if people continued to behave the same as they did in the 1970s with the attitude of law enforcement changing, there would still be an increase in the amount of people that are arrested for DUIs.
