Résumé : |
Aim: This study explored the association between concurrent alcohol and cocaine use and its predictive probability of self-reported violent behaviour.
Methods: A series of logistic regression models were run on a sample of 3098 young people (aged 16-25) from a national self-report study. Findings: Current cocaine use was identified as predictive of violent offending (Exp B = 2.363, p Conclusions: Findings suggest that whilst interventions aimed at reducing drinking or cocaine consumption are likely to have some effect in reducing offending behaviour, attention should also be given to other individual level factors such as prior violent victimization and wider involvement in anti-social behaviour as these may be confounded as part of a wider substance misusing lifestyle or associated with violence as part as a wider repertoire of anti-social behaviour. |
