“…One study examined 146 deaths in which MA was detected in the blood and found that 27% were homicides and 15% were suicides [26] . In a study of 404 parolees, after adjusting for involvement in the drug trade, MA use in the previous 30 days was predictive of self-reported violent crime and general recidivism but was not predictive of return to custody for violent crime [27] . In a Japanese study of 1,362 youth in a 'classification home' (a home for juvenile delinquents), those with a history of MA use were less likely to have experienced violence [28] .…”

Aims: This study investigated a possible association between violence and the use of drugs, particularly methamphetamine and alcohol. Methods: Cross-sectional, baseline data were derived from the At-Risk Youth Study, a prospective cohort of street-involved youth in Vancouver, Canada. Subjects were asked whether they had suffered or perpetrated violence in the 6 months prior to the interview. Results: In total, 478 youth were enrolled, with a median age of 22 years (interquartile range = 20.0–23.9); 230 (48%) reported having been victims of violence, while 165 (34.5%) reported having perpetrated violence. Daily methamphetamine use was not associated with either outcome. In a multivariate analysis, daily alcohol consumption was significantly associated with being a victim (adjusted odds ratio = 2.10) and a perpetrator (adjusted odds ratio = 2.02) of violence. A history of abuse, failing a grade, and dealing drugs were also independently associated with violence, while having a regular partner was protective. Conclusion: Contrary to popular media reports that methamphetamine causes violence, we found no association. The association of alcohol with violence, though, has implications for screening and intervention programs.

“…15 A recent study estimated that nearly 25 million people worldwide have used amphetamines in the past 12 months, making it the most widely used illicit drug after cannabis. 18 In a study by Cartier et al, 19 use of the methamphetamine was significantly predictive of self-reported violent criminal behavior. Intoxication with methamphetamine is often accompanied by disinhibition, agitation, and paranoia and these effects may lead to violent behavior.…”

Objectives: Because of the prevalence of methamphetamine abuse worldwide, it is not uncommon for subjects in law enforcement encounters to be methamphetamine-intoxicated. Methamphetamine has been present in arrest-related death cases in which an electronic control device (ECD) was used. The primary purpose of this study was to determine the cardiac effects of an ECD in a methamphetamine intoxication model. Methods:Sixteen anesthetized Dorset sheep (26-78 kg) received 0.0 mg ⁄ kg (control animals, n = 4), 0.5 mg ⁄ kg (n = 4), 1.0 mg ⁄ kg (n = 4), or 1.5 mg ⁄ kg (n = 4) of methamphetamine hydrochloride as a slow intravenous (IV) bolus during continuous cardiac monitoring. The animals received the following exposures in sequence from a TASER X26 ECD beginning at 30 minutes after the administration of the drug: 1) 5-second continuous exposure, 2) 15-second intermittent exposure, 3) 30-second intermittent exposure, and 4) 40-second intermittent exposure. Darts were inserted at the sternal notch and the cardiac apex, to a depth of 9 mm. Cardiac motion was determined by thoracotomy (smaller animals, £ 32 kg) or echocardiography (larger animals, > 68 kg). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests.Results: Animals given methamphetamine demonstrated signs of methamphetamine toxicity with tachycardia, hypertension, and atrial and ventricular ectopy in the 30-minute period immediately after administration of the drug. Smaller animals (n = 8, £ 32 kg, mean = 29.4 kg) had supraventricular dysrhythmias immediately after the ECD exposures. Larger animals (n = 8, > 68 kg, mean = 72.4) had only sinus tachycardia after the exposures. One of the smaller animals had frequent episodes of ventricular ectopy after two exposures, including runs of delayed onset, nonsustained six-to eight-beat unifocal and multifocal ventricular tachycardia that spontaneously resolved. This animal had significant ectopy prior to the exposures as well. Thoracotomy performed on three smaller animals demonstrated cardiac capture during ECD exposure consistent with previous animal studies. In the larger animals, none of the methamphetamine-intoxicated animals demonstrated cardiac capture. Two control sheep showed evidence of capture similar to the smaller animals. No ventricular fibrillation occurred after the exposure in any animal. Conclusions:In smaller animals (32 kg or less), ECD exposure exacerbated atrial and ventricular irritability induced by methamphetamine intoxication, but this effect was not seen in larger, adult-sized animals. There were no episodes of ventricular fibrillation after exposure associated with ECD exposure in methamphetamine-intoxicated sheep.ACADEMIC EMERGENCY MEDICINE 2010; 17:436-443 ª

“…神兴奋剂，具有很强的精神毒性和神经破坏作用，对成瘾者的身体、行为和精神等方面都会产生一系列的破坏性反应，包括心血管和呼吸问题、抽搐、牙齿和皮肤溃烂、攻击行为、冒险寻求、性冲动、各类精神疾病以及记忆力下降等 (Winslow, Voorhees, & Pehl, 1988;Watt, Guidera, Hobkirk, Skinner, & Meade, 2016;Colfax & Shoptaw, 2005)。其中，攻击或暴力行为是冰毒成瘾者较为突出的行为表现，国内外众多研究结果支持滥用冰毒会导致成瘾者产生高水平的暴力和攻击行为 (Boles, & Miotto, 2003;Cartier, Farabee, & Prendergast, 2006;王玮，肇恒伟，李晨，赵子阳，2017) …”

Objective: To explore the multiple mediating effects of self-control and impulsivity in the relationship between sensation seeking and aggression. Methods: 184 methamphetamine abusers (totally male) were selected. They were surveyed with Sensation Seeking Scale, Self -Control Scale, Barratt Impulsiveness Scale, Aggression questionnaire. The relationship among these factors was analyzed by structural equation modeling. Results: Correlation analysis showed that sensation seeking was positively correlated with impulsivity and aggression and negatively correlated with self-control; self-control was negatively correlated with impulsivity and aggression; impulsivity was positively correlated with aggression. Structural equation modeling showed that sensation seeking of methamphetamine abuser not only influenced aggression directly, but also affected aggression indirectly through self-control and impulsivity; Bootstrap test showed that 95% confidence interval of mediating effects was 0.22 -0.87, the multiple mediating effects were significant. Conclusion: Self-control and impulsivity have a mediating effect on the relationship between sensation seeking and aggression.
