Of 793 offenders submitted to forensic psychiatric examination in 1972-1976, 44% were guilty of crimes of violence against persons. Among them, 68% were drunk when committing their crime; for nonviolent offenders this percentage was 38. Psychotic assailants stood apart as mostly sober. While Swedish and United States drinking patterns are similar, the homicide rate in Sweden is about one-tenth that in the United States. The possible cause-effect relationship between alcohol abuse and assaultive behavior is complex. A common basis could be found in personal and interpersonal distress rather than in socioeconomic and educational shortcomings.
在1972年至1976年接受法医精神病学检查的793名罪犯中，44%犯有针对他人的暴力罪行。其中，68%在犯罪时处于醉酒状态；非暴力罪犯的这一比例为38%。患有精神病的攻击者大多在清醒状态下作案。虽然瑞典和美国的饮酒模式相似，但瑞典的凶杀率约为美国的十分之一。酒精滥用与攻击性行为之间可能的因果关系很复杂。一个共同的基础可能在于个人和人际困扰，而非社会经济和教育缺陷。
