ABSTRACT

This study investigates the role of alcohol consumption on the choices, decisions, and actions taken by the offenders during the crime-commission process. Specifically, this research aims to compare four different situations: neither the offender nor victim consumed alcohol, only the victim consumed alcohol, only the offender had consumed alcohol, and both the offender and victim had consumed alcohol. The sample used in this study consists of 2544 cases of extrafamilial assault involving adult victims in France. Bivariate and multivariate analyses are performed to examine the differences between the cases where neither offender nor victim consumed alcohol (n = 1259), only victims consumed alcohol (n = 241), only offenders consumed alcohol (n = 822), and both offenders and victims consumed alcohol (n = 222). Findings indicate that strong differences exist in the crime-commission process of sex offenders depending on both the victim and the offender’s alcohol consumption. We observed that decisions made during each phase (i.e., precrime, crime, and postcrime phases) of the crime were influenced by alcohol intoxication.

摘要

本研究调查了饮酒对犯罪者在犯罪过程中的选择、决定和采取的行动的作用。具体而言，本研究旨在比较四种不同的情况：犯罪者和受害者均未饮酒、仅受害者饮酒、仅犯罪者饮酒、犯罪者和受害者均饮酒。本研究中使用的样本包括法国 2544 起涉及成年受害者的家庭外攻击案件。进行双变量和多变量分析以检查犯罪者和受害者均未饮酒 (n = 1259)、仅受害者饮酒 (n = 241)、仅犯罪者饮酒 (n = 822) 以及犯罪者和受害者均未饮酒的情况之间的差异。受害者饮酒（n = 222）。调查结果表明，根据受害者和犯罪者的饮酒量，性犯罪者的犯罪过程存在很大差异。我们观察到，在犯罪的每个阶段（即犯罪前、犯罪和犯罪后阶段）做出的决定都受到酒精中毒的影响。
