Social Structures of inequality impacting the issue: 'The battle between the majority and the minority'
Economical Structure
Resource and funding allocation
Legal Systems
Access to justice can be limited
Access to representation is costly
More money pays for better representation
Political System
Cultural System
Public Opinions
A culture of not seeing alcohol as bad
Perception that the driver can work the system to get their license back quicker
Drinking culture: public holidays, events, parties, weekends, bbq- socially acceptable
Offender deserves punishment
Early interlock grant viewed as a lesser punishment
Rewards shouldn't be given for bad behavior
Licence should be taken away for good
Imprisonment
Legislation only treats the action not the cause
No legislation for mandatory interlock prior to completion of disqualification
Wasting tax payers money
Courts
Harsh penalties: lack of options in sentencing
Inequality in punishing the action and not the cause
Not acceptable to be a repeat drink driver even if they have a problem.
Reluctant to change
Won't view the rewards approach as a form of punishment
Society would rather house an inmate than provide funding for therapeutic responses
Offender
No one understand my addiction/issue
Considers it unfair where they have made a recovery and are still being punished by not being able to drive
Punishment is meant to be redemptive
Costs allot of money to have an interlock device
Lack of funding towards Interlock devices
Doesn't want to move towards a different legal approach as fear of undermining law and the system
