Alcohol has been associated with violent crimes and domestic violence across many nations. Various etiological factors were linked to chronic alcohol use and violence including psychiatric comorbidities of perpetrators such as personality disorders, mood disorders, and intermittent explosive disorders. Aggression is the precursor of violence and individuals prone to aggressive behaviors are more likely to commit impulsive violent crimes, especially under the influence of alcohol. Findings from brain studies indicate long-term alcohol consumption induced morphological changes in brain regions involved in self-control, decision-making, and emotional processing. In line with this, the inherent dopaminergic and serotonergic anomalies seen in aggressive individuals increase their susceptibility to commit violent crimes when alcohol present in their system. In relation to this, this article intends to investigate the influence of alcohol on aggression with sociopsychological and neuroscientific perspectives by looking into comorbidity of personality or mood disorders, state of the mind during alcohol consumption, types of beverages, environmental trigger, neurochemical changes, and gender differences that influence individual responses to alcohol intake and susceptibility to intoxicated aggression.
在许多国家,酒精都与暴力犯罪和家庭暴力有关。各种病因因素与长期饮酒及暴力行为相关,包括犯罪者的精神共病,如人格障碍、情绪障碍和间歇性爆发障碍。攻击行为是暴力的先兆,容易出现攻击行为的个体更有可能实施冲动暴力犯罪,尤其是在酒精影响下。大脑研究结果表明,长期饮酒会导致参与自我控制、决策和情绪处理的脑区发生形态变化。与此相符的是,在有攻击性的个体中发现的内在多巴胺能和5-羟色胺能异常,会增加他们在体内有酒精时实施暴力犯罪的易感性。与此相关,本文旨在从社会心理学和神经科学角度,通过研究人格或情绪障碍的共病、饮酒时的心理状态、饮料类型、环境诱因、神经化学变化以及影响个体对酒精摄入反应和醉酒攻击易感性的性别差异,来探讨酒精对攻击行为的影响。
