“…Similarly, White et al (2013) found that within-person increases in alcohol use lead to increased aggressive behavior among adolescent boys. The impact of alcohol use on aggression and violence may be a function of the temperament among individuals who may display more or less dispositional traits (Norström and Pape 2010) or who live in high-crime neighborhoods (White et al 2013). …”

Throughout adolescence, alcohol consumption and aggressive behaviors are associated with multiple problematic outcomes. Few studies have examined neighborhood-level predictors and individual and family-level sociodemographic variables to describe longitudinal trajectories of these problem behaviors. Therefore, this study investigated the unique contributions of neighborhood and sociodemographic factors in the shared development of aggressive behaviors and drinking in adolescents. We analyzed alcohol consumption frequency and frequency of aggressive behaviors using parallel process latent growth curve models with demographic indicators and neighborhood constructs as predictors. At all ages, alcohol use and aggression positively covaried. Male gender was associated with both aggressive episodes and alcohol use at age 12. African American ethnicity was associated with higher levels of early aggression. Higher neighborhood income was associated with lower levels of early aggression. Findings lend support to current efforts to curb early initiation of alcohol use and aggression.

“…A causal role for substance abuse in violence has been suggested by findings from prospective studies showing a close association between substance abuse prior to violent acts (Greenfield, 1998;Norstrøm & Pape, 2010). Our correlation design does not allow for the conclusion that multiple substance abuse is a causal factor for violence, although the gradual increase in violence propensity associated with higher numbers of abused substances meets one of the criteria for a causal relationship (Hill, 1965).…”

“…Examples of such factors are high levels of suppressed aggression and negative affect, suspiciousness, reduced impulse control, and hampered regulation of stress and emotions (e.g., Nestor, 2002;Norstrøm & Pape, 2010). Other factors include an adverse life history and negative aspects of current life situation, such as physical victimization and living in a high criminality environment, early exposure to substance abuse by parents, and social isolation (Gill-Gonzales et al, 2008;Wei & Brackley, 2010).…”

While comorbidity of serious mental illness (SMI) and substance abuse increases violence risk, less is known about additional effects of multiple substance abuse. By using a check list, data on substance abuse, violence, diagnoses, and Perceived Threat Control Override symptoms (TCO) were extracted from electronic patient files in 146 male patients who were extensive users of acute psychiatric services. Variables that were significant in univariate analysis were entered into a stepwise multivariate regression analysis. Odds ratios for violence increased from 5.3 in patients who abused one substance to 153.4 with the abuse of four or five substances (Step 1). The effect was moderated in Step 2 by having a diagnosis of mood disorder (OR = .17). In Step 3, only a trend indicated that one TCO component, "others control my thoughts and feelings," increased the risk of violence (OR = 3.7). The positive effect sizes for polysubstance abuse were about two times larger in Step 3 than in Step 1. The findings indicate that including the number of abused substances may improve violence risk assessment in patients with SMI.

“…Norström (19) plantea una hipótesis más selectiva de esta relación; sostiene que solo las personas con una predisposición agresiva y que reprimen sentimientos de ira, frente a la exposición al alcohol aumentan el riesgo de manifestar comportamientos violentos en relación con la sensación de desinhibición que experimentan bajo sus efectos. Según Sahel (20), es importante tener claro que el consumo de alcohol puede conducir a la violencia, pero es igualmente posible que los adolescentes que se dedican a la violencia sean más propensos a buscar el alcohol (tabla 3).…”

Abstract: Alcohol use may be related causally to violence, but the effect of drinking is confined to individuals who are inclined to suppress their angry feelings.
