An interesting data release indicated that, based on statistics gathered by the FBI, in 2007, the number of women taken into custody in for DUI was 28.8 percent greater in 2007 than it was in 1998, while the number of men apprehended was 7.5 percent lower. The numbers were taken from just 56 percent of the country, though Alfred Blumstein, a Carnegie Mellon criminologist, states "the trend probably holds true for the country as a whole."
