Objectives: To assess the relationship between alcohol taxes and violent mortality rates in Russia from 2010 to 2015. Methods: Trends in the excise tax rates for vodka and violent mortality rates between 2010 and 2015 were compared. Results: Spearman’s correlation analysis suggests a statistically significant inverse relationship between excise tax rates for vodka and suicides, homicides, accidental drowning, mortality due to exposure to smoke, fire and flames and fatal falls. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest an inverse aggregate-level relationship between excise tax rates for vodka and violent mortality rates in Russia. Given this evidence, raising excise tax rates for vodka appears to be an effective policy to reduce violent mortality rates in Russia.","PeriodicalId":92903,"journal":{"name":"HSOA journal of addiction & addictive disorders","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48001551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study is the first large-scale study aimed at comparing adult violent offenders with a Dual Diagnosis (DD-group, n=710)with other subgroups of adult violent offenders: Offenders without a clinical or personality disorder (No disorders group, n=142); offenders being diagnosed with only Substance Use Disorders (SUD-group, n=120); offenders with other clinical (SUDs excluded) and/or personality disorders (Other disorders group, n=499). Seven of the central eight criminogenic risk factors (categorized in the big and moderate three criminogenic risk factors) described in General Personality and Cognitive Social Learning (GPCSL) theories were included in a multi-group path analysis as predictors of general recidivism and dropout. DD-offenders had the highest recidivism and dropout rates. A few number of the central eight risk factors were found predictive of general recidivism and dropout within each subgroup. In DD-offenders the only risk factor relevant for recidivism was a history of antisocial/criminal behavior.","PeriodicalId":92903,"journal":{"name":"HSOA journal of addiction & addictive disorders","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45966037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
