offenders. The average BAC for first time offenders in 2006 was .1563%,
while the average BAC for repeat offenders was .1691%.
The diagram below
shows the total number of offenders in 2006 for each offense category,
as well as the average BAC levels by each offense category (DWI #1, DWI
#2, DWI #3, DWI #4 and DWI #5). Repeat offenders made up 25% of the
total, while first time offenders made up 75% of the total DWI arrests.
 
 
 
2. Race/Gender of Repeat Offenders
As was the case in 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and
2005, Hispanic males decreased their overall arrest percentage on repeat
offenses compared to White males. White males, who represent 27.5% of
the overall total of DWI arrests, represent 33% of the repeat offenders,
while Hispanic males dropped from 55.5% of overall arrests to 51% of
repeat offenders.
