DUI rates high for hispanics in Napa Valley, California
Tagged: newspaper, population“For two years, the Napa Valley Register has published the names of people convicted of driving under the influence or the lesser charge of reckless driving while under the influence in Napa County.
Ever since the names began appearing in the newspaper, readers have commented on the number of Hispanic surnames on the lists. Why so many, if Napa is predominantly Anglo? Are a higher percentage of Latinos taking risks than other drivers? Are they more likely to get arrested or convicted if stopped? Are the numbers actually higher than the percentage in the population?”
