FeT each rearrest, if more than one charge is made, only the more Fer:!o\ls chpTge is listed on PRS. The same individual may be involved in more than one inctance of rearrest, as ~ell. The statistics reported here are not copvictions. All of the 2,818 hit notices are based on QTrest charge~.

A total of 2,283 individuals ~ere arrested for these 2.818 new offensps (1,075 jn~:i\'iduals were involved in 1,138 new DWI. offenses and 1,367 indivjdual mil r-ffenders 'Were involved in 1,681 criminal arrests). 124 DWI' to on rrobation ~ele involved in both ne~ D~l and ne. criminal behavior-.--

It is also interesting to note that separate PRS reports on all prohationers in the State reveal an equivalent number of new DWI offenses by Non-D\"l prC'bationers during 1987 (1':1099). This suggests the need for attention to the alcohol abuse issue among non-DWI offenders.
