Substance Abuse and Domestic
Violence
One of the prime triggers
of domestic violence is substance
abuse. When under the influence of
drugs and alcohol, a person’s
violent tendencies could heighten
and they could hit people that are
close in proximity: family members.
Correlation of substance
abuse and domestic
violence
Drugs and alcohol have always meshed
together with domestic violence. This is
because most domestic violence offenders
are found with a background of substance
abuse. According to a study made by the
United States Department of Justice titled
Linkage of Domestic Violence and
Services, 61% of domestic violence
offenders are also substance abusers.
This is also supported by another
research that showed 92% of domestic
violence assailants in the United States
have taken drugs or alcohol on the day
of the abuse.
Substance abuse and the domestic
violence victim
It is not only the domestic violence perpetrator that can be a
substance abuser, but even victims themselves can also be
guilty of taking too much alcohol and drugs. In fact, one major
reason why they are inflicted with violence is because of their
abuse with the supposed perpetrator only doing it out of
suppressed rage or self-defense.
Of course in some cases, it is both the perpetrator and victim
and domestic violence usually ensues due to fighting over the
drugs and alcohol.
Defenses and remedies
In court, you can use the alleged substance
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

As they say,
prevention is better
than cure. In legal
terms, it is better to
stop taking alcohol
and drugs before
you go overboard
and find yourself
charged.
