Is driving under the influence a crime of violence?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Wilkoff v. Superior Court, 211 Cal.Rptr. 742, 38 Cal.3d 345, 696 P.2d 134 (Cal. 1985):

11 The district attorney also draws our attention to Government Code section 13960, subdivision (c)(2), concerning crime victim indemnification, to show that a violation of section 23153 is there considered a "crime of violence" subject to the indemnification statutes. Therefore, the district attorney argues, driving under the influence should also be grouped with those "crimes of violence" that are subject to the Neal rule. (See People v. Miller (1977) 18 Cal.3d 873, 885, 135 Cal.Rptr. 654, 558 P.2d 552.)
