“…Our findings fit within the existing literature, including that which finds involvement with drugs associated with perpetrating IPV (Abrahams et al, 2006; Cafferky et al, 2018; Chermack et al, 2008; Coker et al, 2000; Fals-Stewart et al, 2003; Fergusson et al, 2008; Kyriacou et al, 1999; B. C. Moore et al, 2011; T. Moore et al, 2008; Pryor et al, 2020; Stuart et al, 2008; Zhong et al, 2020) and that which suggests that arrests for nonviolent crimes serve as a risk marker for IPV perpetration (Fox et al, 2020). Further work could inform policy by examining the relationship between drug conviction alone and future perpetration of IPV, as arrests do not indicate guilt and are not often used as the basis for policy.…”

“…Research has examined the link between drug involvement and violence generally, as well as between substance use, including alcohol, and IPV perpetration and victimization. Growing evidence supports drug use as a risk factor for IPV perpetration (Abrahams et al, 2006; Cafferky et al, 2018; Chermack et al, 2008; Coker et al, 2000; Fals-Stewart et al, 2003; Fergusson et al, 2008; Kyriacou et al, 1999; B. C. Moore et al, 2011; T. Moore et al, 2008; Pryor et al, 2020; Stuart et al, 2008). One study found an estimated odds ratio of 1.7 for intimate partner violence perpetration among those with a substance use disorder relative to those without such a disorder (Zhong et al, 2020).…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a considerable public health problem in the US, and evidence suggests that both drugs and firearms contribute to the risk of IPV and its severity. This study uses a retrospective, longitudinal cohort design to explore the association between past arrests, charges incurred in the legal process, and convictions for drug-related crimes, and risk of future arrest for IPV among legal handgun purchasers. The cohort included all legal purchasers of handguns in California in 2001 between the ages of 21 and 49 ( n = 79,678), 156 of whom had pre-purchase drug charges and post-purchase IPV charges. We used Cox proportional hazards regression with age at time of handgun purchase, sex, and race/ethnicity, and an array of community characteristics as covariates. Over the study period (2001-2013), in comparison to handgun purchasers who had no charges or convictions prior to their index purchase, risk for future IPV arrest was increased for purchasers whose only prior charges were drug-related (aHR = 3.4 [95% CI: 2.4-4.9]) and purchasers who had both prior drug- and non-drug related charges (aHR = 4.9 [95% CI: 4.1-6.0]). The magnitude of the risk ratio was greater when multiple drug types were involved and when the person had been charged with both the use and sale of drugs. Our findings suggest that, among legal handgun purchasers, prior drug charges are associated with future risk of IPV arrests or convictions. Given the established link between firearm access and IPV severity and fatality, these findings may inform the development and enforcement of policies that reduce firearm access for those at elevated risk of perpetrating intimate partner violence.

“…Furthermore, the consensus is that drug use, specifically opioids, contributed to the increase in homicide victimization in the United States from 2014 to 2016 (Gaston et al, 2019;Rosenfeld et al, 2017). Illicit drug markets and intimate partner violence are the mechanisms linking opioids to homicide (Gaston et al, 2019;Pryor et al, 2021;Rosenfeld et al, 2017, 2021, Cerdá et al, 2013. Drug-related homicides increased compared with other types of homicide (Rosenfeld & Fox, 2019).…”

Was There a Universal Homicide Increase in 2014 to 2016 and 2019 to 2020?

This article explores whether there was a universal increase in homicide victimization in 2014 to 2016 and 2019 to 2020. Although the United States observed increases in homicide victimization in 2014 to 2016 and 2019 to 2002, it is unlikely that all nations observed simultaneous increases in homicide victimization. Therefore, we explore whether countries observed increases in homicide victimization from 2014 to 2016, only part of the time, and before and after 2014 to 2016. We also investigated which nations observed an increase in homicide victimization from 2019 to 2020. We used WHO mortality homicide victimization data for an initial sample of 116 nations. In general, it does not appear that there was a simultaneous universal increase in the times under study. However, most of the sample at some point between 2014 and 2016 experienced increases in homicide victimization.
