Victim impact panels are meetings of three to four members of a community who are all DWI victims. “Victim” means that either their own lives or the life of a loved one has been affected by: a drunk driving incident, drunk drivers, someone driving under the influence of alcohol, and/or impaired driving crashes. Members discuss how these events have impacted their lives or the lives of close family members. Discussions may include first-hand observations of accidents and personal stories.
