This paper examines differences between men and women in the relationship of alcohol and drug use to criminal offenses, including violent behavior. A probability sample of men (N = 959) and women (N = 188) arrestees were interviewed in a northern California county. No significant differences were found between men and women in patterns of drug use, but more men than women reported heavy drinking. A higher proportion of men than women reported violence in the events related to their arrest (p < or = .02). Logistic regression examined the relationship of heavy drinking and violent offenses, controlling for drug use and demographic variables. Frequent heavy drinking (OR = 1.47), white ethnicity (OR = .51), and being married (OR = 1.93) were significant; gender was not significant. The results have implications for future research on gender and violence.
本文研究了男性和女性在酒精及药物使用与犯罪行为（包括暴力行为）之间关系上的差异。在加利福尼亚州北部的一个县，对959名男性和188名女性被捕者进行了概率抽样访谈。在药物使用模式上，未发现男性和女性之间存在显著差异，但报告大量饮酒的男性多于女性。在与被捕相关的事件中，报告有暴力行为的男性比例高于女性（p≤0.02）。逻辑回归分析了大量饮酒与暴力犯罪之间的关系，并控制了药物使用和人口统计学变量。频繁大量饮酒（OR = 1.47）、白人种族（OR = 0.51）和已婚（OR = 1.93）具有显著意义；性别不具有显著意义。研究结果对未来关于性别与暴力的研究具有启示意义。
