“…Indermaur (1995) found that instrumental violence is more often associated with property crime. Raskin White et al (2002) associated drug and alcohol use with violent offenses rather than with property crime. These findings suggest that the organized pattern of perpetrating crime is more likely to involve offenses that seek to acquire goods or money, whereas the disorganized pattern is more likely to involve violent offenses (see Note 5).…”

This study explores the characteristics of the perpetration of crime over a 15-year follow-up period for a sample of adjudicated French Canadian males. Two patterns of perpetration of crime were identified between adolescence and adulthood. The organized pattern is mainly characterized by a predominance of utilitarian motives, a considerable level of planning, and an increased use of instruments. The disorganized pattern of perpetration of crime is motivated by hedonism and thrill seeking, displays little organization, and is characterized by a greater propensity to drug and alcohol use. Pathways were identified to determine how offenders combined these patterns between adolescence and midadulthood. All pathways showed signs of disorganization with age. These results suggest that patterns of perpetration of crime are more dependent on situational components and criminal opportunities, which are both more likely to vary across time, rather than on individual predispositions. Theoretical and policy implications are discussed.

“…White et al [89] found that male adolescents with heavy alcohol use who were more impulsive and associated with more deviant peers were more likely to commit illegal acts while under the influence of alcohol. Both male and female adolescents who drink heavily have significantly higher rates of violent and property offenses [90], although the relationship between binge drinking and delinquency seems to be stronger for males [91].…”

Alcohol abuse and dependence are among the most common psychiatric disorders occurring in adolescents. This article will examine clinically relevant research on the development, diagnosis, course, treatment, and adult outcomes of adolescent alcohol use disorders (AUDs). A developmental history of childhood mental disorders reflecting psychological dysregulation predicts adolescent AUDs. The DSM-IV AUD definitions developed for adults are generally valid for adolescents, although some adolescents with significant alcohol problems are not identified by this diagnostic system. Adolescents with AUDs typically have other substance involvements, comorbid mental disorders, and problematic family relationships. While biomedical complications seen in chronic alcoholic adults are typically absent, acute biomedical complications of intoxication, such as alcohol poisoning or traumatic injury, may contribute to excess mortality in adolescents. Psychosocial interventions promoting abstinence are the most common treatments for AUDs, with credible empirical support available for family-based approaches. While few drug trials have been completed for adolescents with AUDs, pharmacological interventions are available for alcohol withdrawal, craving, and comorbid mental disorders. Some adolescents with AUDs manifest chronic alcoholism in adulthood; many others transition to abstinence or normative drinking. Alcohol abstinence is the primary treatment focus, although other complications need to be addressed and treated to foster optimal clinical outcomes.

“…Pre-adult Exposure to Marijuana: Relationships with Aggressive Behavior 36 different relationship between marijuana use and violent crime arrest rates or violent crime rates may apply to adolescents (Pacula & Kilmer, 2003); in addition, intoxication during fighting is more frequently associated with alcohol use than with marijuana use in adolescents (White, Tice, Loeber, & Stouthamer-Loeber, 2002).…”
