This article uses data derived from interviews with 268 homicide offenders incarcerated in New York State correctional facilities to examine their drug use prior to and at the time of the homicide, and their perceptions as to whether and how the homicides were related to their drug use. Most respondents who used a drug were not hard-core users of that drug. About one in five of the respondents could be considered polydrug abusers. Thirty percent of the sample believed that the homicide was related to their drug use. Alcohol was the drug most likely to be implicated in these homicides. The implications of this research are discussed.
本文使用了对268名被关押在纽约州惩教设施中的杀人罪犯进行访谈所获得的数据，来研究他们在杀人之前及杀人之时的吸毒情况，以及他们对于这些杀人行为是否以及如何与他们的吸毒行为相关的看法。大多数吸毒的受访者并非该毒品的 hardcore 用户。约五分之一的受访者可被视为多药滥用者。30% 的样本认为杀人行为与他们的吸毒行为有关。本文讨论了这项研究的意义。
