OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence of alcohol use disorders in people charged with homicide in Singapore. We also sought to determine which historical risk factors were associated with the use of alcohol 24 h prior to the homicide and with the presence of a severe mental illness at the material time of the offence.
METHODS
We extracted data from administrative records of all people charged with homicide in Singapore between 2007 and 2014. We used regression models to adjust for known confounding variables and explore the relationship between alcohol use and homicide.
RESULTS
Of 253 homicide offenders, 141 individuals (56%) meeting criteria for alcohol use disorders at the time of the offence. 121 offenders (48%) consumed alcohol within the 24 h preceding the homicide. Of the 149 that met criteria for a psychiatric diagnosis, 35 had a severe mental illness.
CONCLUSION
Alcohol use disorders are by far the most common disorder diagnosed in people charged with homicide in Singapore. Alcohol use is less common in homicide offenders with SMI.
目的
确定在新加坡被指控犯有杀人罪的人群中，酒精使用障碍的流行率。我们还试图确定哪些历史风险因素与犯罪前 24 小时内使用酒精以及在犯罪时存在严重精神疾病有关。
方法
我们从 2007 年至 2014 年间在新加坡被指控犯有杀人罪的所有人的行政记录中提取数据。我们使用回归模型来调整已知的混杂变量，并探讨酒精使用与杀人之间的关系。
结果
在 253 名杀人罪犯中，有 141 人（56%）在犯罪时符合酒精使用障碍的标准。121 名罪犯（48%）在凶杀案发生前 24 小时内饮酒。在符合精神科诊断标准的 149 人中，有 35 人患有严重精神疾病。
结论
在新加坡，酒精使用障碍是被指控犯有杀人罪的人群中最常见的诊断障碍。在有严重精神疾病的杀人罪犯中，酒精使用较少。
