Victim Impact Panels

VICTIM IMPACT PANEL - Court-ordered panel for DWI offenders

The purpose of the program is not to judge, but to give first-time DWI offenders a personal experience through hearing from victims whose lives have been changed forever by a drunk driver, to create an empathy and understanding of the tragedy of DWI, to leave an impression that will change the thinking and the behavior, and prevent future DWIs from occurring .
