Abstract

: Alcohol consumption has been a longstanding public health concern and known link to violence. The aims of this study were to analyze alcohol-related homicide cases in Lithuania, focusing on the prevalence of binge drinking among perpetrators and victims, the situational and behavioral patterns leading to violence, and the legal outcomes of these cases. : This study employed a retrospective analysis of court case law of criminal cases of the year 2019. The analysis was conducted by combining qualitative and quantitative analytical approaches. : The findings revealed that 84.6% of homicides occurred during binge drinking events. Alcohol intoxication was prevalent among both perpetrators (92.3%) and victims (86.5%), emphasizing the dual role of alcohol in homicide cases. Interpersonal violence was the primary pattern of homicide (78.8%), while planned homicides accounted for 21.2%. Thematic content analysis of the cases revealed that Lithuanian courts consistently regard alcohol consumption as an aggravating factor that contributes to the commission of violent crimes and influences the severity of criminal punishment. This reflects a judicial position that voluntary intoxication does not lessen legal responsibility, despite its effects on impairing judgment, heightening aggression and impulsivity, and escalating conflicts into deadly violence. : Our findings revealed that the majority of alcohol-involved homicides occurred during binge drinking events, in a domestic environment, and because of unplanned acts of interpersonal violence. Targeted public health interventions should focus on strengthening alcohol control policies and enforcing stricter regulations to discourage binge drinking environments.

摘要

饮酒一直是一个长期存在的公共卫生问题,并且是已知的与暴力相关的因素。本研究的目的是分析立陶宛与酒精相关的杀人案件,重点关注犯罪者和受害者中暴饮的流行情况、导致暴力的情境和行为模式以及这些案件的法律结果。

本研究采用了对2019年刑事案件法庭判例法的回顾性分析。分析通过结合定性和定量分析方法进行。

研究结果显示,84.6%的杀人案件发生在暴饮事件期间。酒精中毒在犯罪者(92.3%)和受害者(86.5%)中都很普遍,这凸显了酒精在杀人案件中的双重作用。人际暴力是杀人的主要模式(78.8%),而有预谋的杀人占21.2%。对这些案件的主题内容分析表明,立陶宛法院一直将饮酒视为促成暴力犯罪实施并影响刑事处罚严厉程度的加重因素。这反映了一种司法立场,即自愿醉酒并不会减轻法律责任,尽管其会影响判断力、加剧攻击性和冲动性,并将冲突升级为致命暴力。

我们的研究结果显示,大多数与酒精有关的杀人案件发生在暴饮事件期间、家庭环境中,并且是由人际暴力的无预谋行为导致的。有针对性的公共卫生干预措施应侧重于加强酒精控制政策并实施更严格的规定,以抑制暴饮环境。
