Abstract

Research findings demonstrate that the majority of young adults consume alcohol and that males drink more and more often than females. A significant number of high school seniors and college students have consumed five or more drinks in a row during a 2-week period. High-risk reasons for consumption include: to become intoxicated, to cope with a problem, because of anger and frustration. Social and behavioral consequences of alcohol use affect a number of young adults. Medium to heavy drinkers expect to experience more aggressiveness after drinking. Common risk factors for serious chronic delinquents and frequent users of drugs include psychological and personality factors as well as family conflict, peer factors and school failure. Although research has not determined that alcohol/drugs cause crime or produce the motivation to commit crimes, a relationship between alcohol/drug use and aggressive behavior is apparent. Alcohol plays a significant role in adolescent deaths due to accidents, homicides and suicides, acts of sexual aggression, and criminality. Implications of the research findings are that programs need to be designed with a clear philosophy and realistic goals and they need to target at-risk adolescents. Implementation of promising prevention strategies should take place in the home, school and community, incorporating the influence of parents and peers.

青少年,酒精和攻击性。
研究结果表明,大多数年轻人饮酒,而且男性饮酒的频率越来越高。相当多的高中生和大学生在两周内连续喝了五杯或更多的酒。饮酒的高风险原因包括:醉酒、应对问题、因为愤怒和沮丧。酒精使用的社会和行为后果影响了许多年轻人。中度到重度饮酒者在饮酒后会更有攻击性。严重慢性犯罪和频繁吸毒的常见危险因素包括心理和人格因素、家庭冲突、同伴因素和学业失败。虽然研究还没有确定酒精/药物导致犯罪或产生犯罪动机,但酒精/药物使用与攻击行为之间的关系是显而易见的。酒精在青少年因意外事故、杀人和自杀、性侵犯行为和犯罪而死亡方面起着重要作用。研究结果的含义是,项目的设计需要有一个明确的理念和现实的目标,他们需要针对有风险的青少年。应在家庭、学校和社区实施有希望的预防战略,同时考虑到父母和同伴的影响。
