摘要

使用甲基苯丙胺的澳大利亚人越来越多。众所周知,甲基苯丙胺与暴力和行为异常以及非自然死亡风险增加有关。为了确定凶杀案受害者是否大量接触甲基苯丙胺,我们从南澳大利亚法医科学局(FSSA)病理学数据库中随机抽取了100例2012年至2021年的去身份化凶杀案,以确定凶杀案的类型以及血液中是否检测到甲基苯丙胺。共发现76名男性和24名女性(男:女=3:1)。其中,30 名受害者(30%)的血液中检测到甲基苯丙胺,包括 26 名男性和 4 名女性(男女比例 = 6:1;男性年龄范围为 18-53 岁,平均 36.8 岁;女性年龄范围为 28-63 岁,平均 44.8 岁)。甲基苯丙胺的含量从 0.02 毫克/升到 3.3 毫克/升不等,平均为 0.64 毫克/升,其中枪伤受害者的阳性率最高(45.5%),致命钝器伤受害者的阳性率最低(23.5%)。这项研究表明,澳大利亚人口中的凶杀案受害者比普通人更有可能吸食过甲基苯丙胺。尽管参与贩毒环境可能是一个重要的决定因素,但造成这种情况的原因仍不清楚。

Methamphetamine use in homicide victims.

Methamphetamine use is increasing in the Australian population. It has a known association with violent and erratic behaviour and with an increased risk of unnatural deaths. To determine whether victims of homicide have significant exposure to methamphetamine 100 randomly selected de-identified homicide cases from 2012 to 2021 were accessed from the Forensic Science SA (FSSA) Pathology Database to determine the type of homicide and whether methamphetamine was detected in the blood. A total of 76 males and 24 females were found (M:F = 3:1). Of these, 30 victims (30%) had methamphetamine detected in blood, consisting of 26 males and 4 females (M:F = 6:1; male age range 18-53 years, average 36.8 years; female age range 28-63 years average 44.8 years). Levels of methamphetamine ranged from 0.02 to 3.3 mg/L with an average of 0.64 mg/L, with the highest numbers of positive cases occurring in victims of gunshot wounds (45.5%), and the lowest in those with lethal blunt force trauma (23.5%). This study has demonstrated that victims of homicide in an Australian population are more likely to have used methamphetamine than members of the general population. The reasons for this remain unclear although involvement in a drug selling environment may be an important determinant.
