WOMEN RECEIVING DUI'S ON THE RISE

For most of the last decade, the statistics have held steady that the vast majority of people receiving DUI's in Illinois are male, about 77%.  However, that trend is beginning to change.  In the 1980's, only about 10% of DUI's were given to women, however, in the last 18 months, statistics are showing that women received 31% of the DUI's, and that number is rising.  Researchers have begun investigating why that may be, but there are no solid answers yet.
