The Sacramento Bee reports that arrests of women for DUI offenses have risen dramatically in recent years throughout California, with marked increases in Sacramento County.
Since 2000, female DUI violations in Sacramento County have increased 60%, triple the increase seen for men.
Statewide, females under 18 years of age accounted for nearly a quarter of DUI arrests in 2007, up from 17 percent in 1998. In fact, the percentage of DUI arrests for women rose in all age groups during that time period.
