DRUNKEN DRIVING STATISTICS
Offenders’ Occupation Groups
(New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON, May 5.
In 1955, more charges of being drunk in charge of a car were preferred against craftsmen and production process workers than any other section of the community, according to figures in the report on the justice statistics of New Zealand for that year, released by the Department of Statistics.
In that year, 529 people in that group were charged, compared with 188 farmers, fishermen, hunters and related workers, 105 managerial and administrative workers, 152 transport workers, and 12 professional workers. Of the charges 87 were withdrawn or struck out.
