“…Participants indicated that their “use of alcohol and/or drugs” was the main trigger for the violent event, attributing their behavior to the substance’s effect. This result is consistent with previous studies ( 19 , 27 ) that reveal men who assault their partners consider alcohol and/or drugs a stress factor that provokes their offense. However, it has been observed that this is a way to justify their lack of self-control and neutralize their responsibility for the acts in order to maintain a positive self-identity ( 19 ).…”

However, it has been observed that this is a way to justify their lack of self-control and neutralize their responsibility for the acts in order to maintain a positive self-identity ( 19 ). This result is also reaffirmed by various authors ( 13 – 17 ) who have demonstrated a close relationship between alcohol and/or drug use and GBV.…”

“…That is, the aggressive act can be perceived as memorable or distressing, depending on the conflict in which it occurs or the prior history of violence. Therefore, qualitative studies ( 19 ) allow for a holistic examination of contextual factors and the subjective meaning of violence. The words of the person who committed the crime when describing an aggressive act provide information on how they perceive that experience and what motivated them to do it.…”

“…The complexity of the explanatory variables of GBV has sparked particular interest in variables related to attributions ( 20 , 21 ), motivations ( 18 , 22 , 23 ), and alcohol and/or drug use ( 17 , 19 , 24 ) among people who have committed GBV crimes and exhibit alcohol and/or drug use.…”

“…To achieve this, they avoided talking about conflicting topics with their partner, vented with friends and family, and went out to consume alcohol and/or drugs. It has also been evidenced ( 19 ) that those who committed GBV crimes justified their criminal behavior with the effect of alcohol and/or drug use or abstinence and the stress they felt due to relationship conflicts (jealousy, suspicion of infidelity, breakups), unemployment, and economic problems. Justifying criminal behavior is a commonly used mechanism by those who commit GBV crimes to give moral sense to violent behaviors, thus alleviating feelings of guilt and avoiding social exclusion.…”

IntroductionAggression, and therefore gender-based violence, can be an impulsive or compulsive behavior, depending on the consumption of alcohol and/or drugs. In Europe, the prevalence of gender-based violence is 16 to 23%. This prevalence shows that there is a need to make further progress in the treatment of aggression against women. Qualitative techniques allow us to understand perceptions and attributions holistically by analyzing what people who commit the crime say, why they say it and how they say it.AimTo explore the experience of physical and verbal aggression by a partner, dependent on the presence or absence of alcohol and drug use, in the prison population.MethodA mixed methodology was used (combining qualitative and quantitative techniques). The sample was made up of 140 men divided into two focus groups [with alcohol and/or drug consumption (SAD) and without alcohol and/or drug consumption (NSAD)] who completed the Demographic, Criminal and Behavioral Interview in Penitentiary Institutions; the Gender Violence Questionnaire (both developed for this study) and the MultiCAGE CAD-4 Questionnaire. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis and quantitative data were obtained using contingency tables.ResultsIt was found that the SAD group attributed the crime committed to alcohol and/or drug consumption, while the NSAD group attributed it to jealousy and to their partner. The SAD group revealed that the consequence of the physical aggressions was to get what they were looking for from their partner and the consequences of the verbal aggressions was regret, unlike the NSAD group that did not get anything from the aggressions. The SAD group recognized that to avoid future aggressions they would have to avoid alcohol and/or drug use, while the NSAD group mentioned that they would have to avoid contact with their partner.DiscussionThe need to include perceptions and attributions as well as the use of alcohol and/or drugs is emphasized when assessing individuals who commit the crime of gender-based violence.
