Dr. Howard Shaffer, one of the two researchers responsible for the CARS study, was kind enough to share his thoughts on the briefings:

On Tuesday, Dr. Sarah Nelson and I left our offices at the Division on Addictions and traveled to Capitol Hill to brief Congressional staff and Federal Agency personnel about our Computerized Assessment and Referral System (CARS) program. During our teaching day in Washington DC, we spoke to more than 100 people about this innovative assessment program. It was an easy task to teach people about CARS because we believe that this project will change the way our nation and the world deals with repeat DUI offenders.

Our research shows that almost all of repeat DWI offenders evidence alcohol or other drug abuse or dependence. Perhaps surprising to some is that the majority of these people also have a variety of underlying mental health issues that often precede addiction. Currently, DUI treatment programs often lack staff with expertise in identifying these mental health issues. Consequently, DUI treatment is not optimally matched to the needs of offenders. We believe that, if we can better identify the problems behind the deadly behavior, we can match treatment to these needs for this group of offenders who pose such a deadly risk to others on our nation’s roadways. This four-year CARS project is now underway. Learn more about these presentations and other resources and publications on our website, Division on Addictions.

If you have been charged with a crime, you want an experienced attorney to protect your constitutional rights, one who knows and understands both sides of the law, and who can anticipate the strategies prosecutors will employ to seek a conviction. The criminal process can be confusing and intimidating, with its own language and set of rules. You want a lawyer who has successfully protected the rights of others in situations like yours.

At the law office of Matthew J. Davenport, we offer extensive experience on both sides of a criminal prosecution. Before setting up our practice, Matt Davenport worked in the Pitt County prosecutor’s office, where he trained many of the prosecutors practicing today. With office just blocks from East Carolina University, we provide comprehensive counsel to many students and other members of the university community.

Our Criminal Defense Blog

This blog was set up to provide useful information to people throughout the Greenville area who have questions or concerns about criminal law matters. We will post articles to the blog on a regular basis, addressing a wide range of topics, including:

• Underage drinking and related offenses. We handle all matters related to underage drinking, including minors in possession and underage DWI. We also handle any other charges that might arise, including public intoxication, resisting arrest, using a fake ID or violation of open container laws. We also protect the rights of people who have refused to take a breath test.
• First offense DWI. North Carolina has a zero tolerance policy regarding underage DWI. You may be stopped and charged with drunk driving simply because the police officer claims to smell alcohol on your breath. We will help you protect your rights and ensure that you are not treated like a hardened criminal.
• The driver’s license suspension process. We handle the administrative proceeding to determine the status of your driving privileges.
• Vehicular assault

We encourage you to actively participate in this blog. Please post any questions, concerns or comments you have about any subject matter discussed here.

Greenville DUI Attorney Blog | North Carolina Underage Drinking Lawyer | Pitt County First DUI Law Firm

I’m glad my topic turned out the way it did because I got to learn so much in the process. The part I felt was the hardest thing to do about my topic was finding all the information I needed to do my blog, and it got very repetitive way to quick. The part I think I did very well in was that ii gave a lot very helpful information. The thing I would have done differently would have been to give more statistics because I think it is very helpful because it opens your eyes and you can see that this really does affect kids.

Three things I learned about my topic are that alcohol can affect you in so many different ways, some people think that it does nothing bad to you but they have no idea how wrong they truly are. People making bad choices is one of the biggest ones because that’s how abuse can happen in homes because the dad or mom happen to be drunk fight will happen. Alcohol can be the cause of your death or someone else’s. Irresponsible drinkers who go out on a joy ride and happen to get in a accident or hit someone who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The only advice I can give someone who is a underage drinker is to be more safe. They should try to think first before they act and that goes for everyone who drinks. The blog post I recommend to you is The Affects that Alcohol has to You’re Body. The reason I recommend this one is because this will at least open up your eyes and show you what alcohol will do to your body once you are older, maybe it will make you drink less.

I thought the blogs where fun and this is a handy skill you can use in the future like posting blogs. This was more creative in a way I think a lot of students rather post a blog than write a typed essay on their topic. The easiest part of this project was posting your work because you know you accomplished another blog! I think that by reading other students blogs helped me out in my blogs and it made me learn and understand new topics that where completely new to me! I have learned a lot.
