This study examined the relationship between substance abuse and child maltreatment among U.S. Army soldiers over a 5-year period. The researchers found that 13% of child abuse offenders had used drugs or alcohol at the time of their first reported incident. Offenders who abused both a spouse and child on the same day were more likely to have substance abuse issues. Child neglect was more strongly associated with substance abuse than physical abuse. The researchers concluded that substance abuse assessments for soldiers should consider family issues and include referrals to support services.

The document discusses how high crime rates in the 1990s led to increased stress and trauma for police officers from experiencing violent incidents and witnessing death on the job. Returning Gulf War veterans joining police forces also contributed to higher rates of PTSD. Left unaddressed, long-term effects of job stress and PTSD in police officers can include increased sickness, work accidents, alcoholism and domestic violence, with suicide being a leading cause of death for officers. The document advocates for police departments to formally identify stress problems, implement intervention programs, and properly evaluate their effectiveness in supporting officer wellness and preventing negative outcomes.
The study surveyed 779 youth ages 17-25 about their experiences with sexual violence perpetration. It found that those who perpetrated against romantic partners differed in their tactics, reasons, and blame attribution compared to those who perpetrated against non-romantic partners. Specifically, romantic partner perpetrators were more likely to feel guilty or angry, target partners because of personal feelings, and blame the victim, whereas non-romantic partner perpetrators were more likely to use alcohol and feel horny as reasons to target strangers. The study concludes more research is needed to better understand and prevent sexual violence depending on the relationship between perpetrator and victim.

REMEMBERING RAPE: THE EFFECTS OF ACUTE ALCOHOL INTOXICATION AND ALCOHOL EXPEC...Heather Flowe
This study examined how acute alcohol intoxication and alcohol expectancies affect women's memory of a simulated rape scenario. 78 women participated in a study with a 2 (alcohol vs tonic beverage) x 2 (told drink was alcohol vs tonic) between-subjects design. Women viewed a rape scenario and were later tested on their memory of events. Results showed that women accurately remembered consensual activities regardless of intoxication. While intoxicated women were less accurate about the perpetrator's behavior, alcohol consumption and expectancy did not significantly impact accuracy. Women expecting alcohol performed better overall. Confidence in memory correlated with greater accuracy, regardless of intoxication. The study suggests alcohol may not necessarily impair memory quality but a higher dose may
This document summarizes research on the relationship between excessive alcohol use and sexual and intimate partner violence among women in Michigan. Some key points:
- About 41% of Michigan women reported experiencing sexual violence, intimate partner violence, or both in their lifetime. Rates of experiencing only one or both types of violence are also presented.
- Women who experienced sexual and/or intimate partner violence were more likely to report excessive drinking in the past 30 days compared to women who did not experience violence.
- The odds of excessive drinking in the past 30 days were about 1.9 to 2.1 times higher for women who experienced sexual violence, intimate partner violence, or both, compared to women who did not experience violence.

This presentation was based on a graduate level Addictions class requirement. The assignment asked students to chose a movie or television show as a group that illustrates the theme of addiction through one of the main characters. First the students will determine a diagnosis of one of the characters in the movie. In addition, students will be required to provide a treatment plan. The group presentation should (1) include a detailed client description, including the issues of concern. It should be evident that a mental status exam was completed, (2) reflect a thorough understanding of the client’s bio/psycho/social profile, (3) reflect any culturally relevant information that may impact the course of treatment and addiction, (4) provide some psychoeducation on the client’s drug of choice, and (5) develop an effective treatment plan for the addiction. Your chosen treatment plan and interventions should be reflective of best practice and be empirically supported.

This document provides a summary and analysis of the British government's draft Mental Health Bill of 2002. It argues that the government has not adequately proven its case for the new civil powers of detention and compulsory treatment proposed in the bill. While mental illness is positively associated with some violence, the risks are modest and other factors like age, gender, substance use, and socioeconomic status are stronger predictors of violence in society. Improving social factors, healthcare resources, and education are likely more important for protecting public safety than expanding legal powers of compulsion. The document advocates for balancing civil liberties, treatment, and public safety according to established principles of mental health law.

How to deliver a more persuasive message regarding addiction as a medical dis...Paul Coelho, MD
The author argues that those in the addiction field have been unsuccessful in persuading the public to view addiction as a legitimate medical disorder due to flaws in their messaging. Specifically, analogies made between addiction and other medical disorders like asthma and diabetes overlook the high negative externalities of addiction, including the crimes and violence sometimes associated with it. This understandably makes the public more fearful of and angry about addiction compared to other conditions. The author proposes acknowledging these negative externalities and the rational basis for law enforcement involvement when discussing addiction as a medical issue in order to be more persuasive to the public.
Domestic violence takes many forms and can occur between any family members within a home. It includes physical, sexual, verbal, economic and emotional abuse. The document discusses various definitions of domestic violence from legislation in India. Broadly, domestic violence is defined as any intentional conduct that causes physical, sexual or mental harm by intimate partners or family members. It disproportionately impacts women and is often intergenerational, negatively affecting children who witness abuse in the home. Addressing domestic violence requires a holistic approach and changes to social norms around gender roles and equality.
This document discusses the relationship between substance use and domestic violence. It notes that for men, heavy drinking is often associated with views of masculinity like toughness, while for women, substance use may be a response to trauma from an abusive relationship. The document is intended as an educational guide to help understand how substance use relates to unhealthy relationships and the physical and emotional consequences of domestic violence during recovery. It discusses factors like attitudes accepting of violence and gender inequality that can increase the risk of perpetrating or experiencing intimate partner or sexual violence.

The article, “Familial Risk Factors Favoring Drug Addiction Onset” by Jadranka
and Vlado is a study that is aimed at identification of domestic risks that favor drug
addiction onset. Based on research carried out, it is evident that most families are affected
by drugs because of influence within the families. As described in the article, research
carried out between the year 2008 and 2009 reviews that most born addicted to drugs are
born into families where the use of drugs is common. It is evident that the use of drugs
has influenced more than a few issues globally. Most people addicted to drugs are as a
result of influence from their families. Based on the article, it is clear that the authors are
seriously trying to find a solution to familial risk factors that favor drug addiction. Also,
the authors are trying to review appropriate ways that can eliminate the use of drugs
within families.
Based on the article, it is clear that the authors are trying to determine particular
questions through their research. Some of these questions include:
i. What are the major factors that influence or favor the use of drugs within
families?
ii. What are the possible solutions to drug addiction within families?
iii. What are the familial risk factors capable of influencing their psychosocial
development?
Through the research, the authors came up with different opinions about the cause
and effects of drug addiction within families. As described in the article, it is clear that
drug addiction is a global issue that has affected and challenged people over the years.
However, most families have admitted the situation and resolved to live with the issues.
Clearly, the authors used qualitative research method to carry out the research. In general,

This document is a thesis submitted by Yolisa Nandipha Gibson for a Master's degree in psychology. It surveys previous research on the relationship between substance abuse and homelessness. While substance abuse is common among homeless populations, the research has not determined if it is typically a cause or result of homelessness. Most studies find evidence supporting both causal pathways. Gibson's thesis research involved surveying 28 homeless individuals at two shelters. They reported long histories of drug use but did not view it as the primary cause of their homelessness. Rather, they most often cited sudden economic hardship as the proximate cause, along with other synergistic factors like job loss, low education, mental illness, and lack of family support.
The document discusses myths and realities about violence and mental illness. It notes that public surveys estimate 75% of mentally ill people are dangerous, but in reality only 4% of violence can be attributed to mental illness. While the mentally ill are slightly more likely to be violent than the general population, they are less likely than other groups like criminals or those with substance abuse issues. The largest risks for violence are a history of violence, substance use, and young age - factors that predict violence for both mentally ill and non-mentally ill people.

abuse itself as a way to defend yourself. You
could argue that the victim was a substance
abuser and you were only trying to contain him
or her that led to accidental physical injuries.
Another defense that you could raise is that yes
you have experience in substance abuse but
never perpetrated domestic violence followed by
the presentation of evidence such as lack of

prevention is better

you go overboard
and find yourself
