This study estimates disparities in driving under the influence (DUI) convictions relative to the frequency with which racial/ethnic groups engage in alcohol-impaired driving. We use had-been-drinking crashes and self-reported alcohol-impaired driving to approximate alcohol-impaired driving frequency for racial/ethnic groups in California from 2001 to 2016. DUI conviction and had-been-drinking crash data are from a sample of 72,368 California men aged 21–49 in 2001. Self-reported alcohol-impaired driving rates are from male Californians who responded to the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Relative to race/ethnicity-specific estimated rates of engaging in alcohol-impaired driving, Latino/Hispanic men had higher rates of DUI conviction than White men. This suggests racial bias plays a role in DUI convictions, with White men experiencing a lower probability of conviction than Latino/Hispanic men who engage in similar behavior.

种族偏见和酒后驾车执法：将定罪率与行为频率进行比较

本研究估计了酒后驾驶 (DUI) 定罪相对于种族/族裔群体参与酒后驾驶的频率的差异。我们使用了 2001 年至 2016 年加州种族/族裔群体的饮酒事故和自我报告的酒后驾驶频率来估算酒后驾驶频率。 DUI 定罪和酒后事故数据来自2001 年有 72,368 名 21-49 岁的加利福尼亚男性。自我报告的酒后驾驶率来自对行为风险因素监测系统做出反应的加利福尼亚男性。相对于特定种族/民族的酒后驾驶估计率，拉丁裔/西班牙裔男性的 DUI 定罪率高于白人男性。这表明种族偏见在 DUI 定罪中起作用，
