North Carolina Victim Impact Panels

The following Victim Impact Panels are held in the state of North Carolina: 2008 Calendar Year

Victim Impact Panels (VIP classes): give victims & survivors of drunk driving crashes an opportunity to share their story with DWI offenders. As part of their probation, first- and second- time  DWI offenders, are mandated in many jurisdictions to hear the poignant stories of those whose lives have been permanently affected by an impaired driver. MADD VIP's are certified to ensure that the purpose of the panels (to individualize and humanize the consequences of impaired driving, to change attitudes and behaviors, and to deter impaired driving recidivism-)stays true. If you're interested in starting a VIP in your town contact the state office today.
