    Alcohol and Drug Use among Abused Women Who Kill, Abused Women Who Don't, and Their Abusers

    Abstract: Interviews were conducted with forty-two women with extensive abuse histories who had killed their intimates and fifty-nine women with similar abuse histories who were in shelters for battered women. Controlling for demographic and other differences, analyses indicated that alcohol and other drug use ably distinguished between the two groups of women (correctly classifying 89% of the cases), and that alcohol use was more salient than other drug use. The partner's alcohol use and the respondent's alcohol use were significantly higher among the intimate homicide group, suggesting an association between intimate homicide and alcohol use. Alcohol counseling should, therefore, be a significant part of programs for both battered women and for men who batter.

    Beer Joints and Badasses: An Aggregate-Level Assessment of Alcohol Availability and Violent Crime
    SAGE Publications ; 1999

    Abstract: This study examines the effects of alcohol availability on the level of violent crime across census tracts within the unincorporated areas of Hillsborough County, Florida. We use Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression techniques to test for the influence of the total number and the number of specific forms of liquor licenses on the level of criminal homicides, sexual assaults, aggravated assaults, and robberies per census tract while controlling for the effects of socio-demographic and economic compositional variables. We find positive relationships between the number of liquor licenses which permit the retail sale of beer (either package stores or for on-premises consumption) and the level of violent crimes. These effects were strongest for the crimes of aggravated and sexual assaults to the extent that each additional liquor establishment per census tract adds 2–3 sexual assaults per year and 8–10 aggravated assaults. Among the compositional and contextual variables, percent of households in poverty was found to have the strongest effect across all violent crime categories. Policy implications are discussed regarding high-risk areas and high-risk establishments.
