Our own literature review failed to find published studies comparing sexual offenders to nonsexual violent offenders on standardized measures of substance abuse. Our study is a preliminary investigation of the differences between sexual offenders (rapists: n = 72; child molesters: n = 34) and nonsexual violent offenders (n = 24) on measures of alcohol and drug abuse. The findings indicate that sexual offenders were more likely to abuse alcohol than were nonsexual violent offenders. Nonsexual offenders were significantly more likely to have had a history of other forms of substance abuse. The results are considered in terms of theories of alcohol's contribution to aggressive behavior and sexual aggression. Implications for assessment and treatment of sexual offenders are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/107906320001200403","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,27]],"date-time":"2008-02-27T19:40:23Z","timestamp":1204141223000},"page":"263-274","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":64,"title":["Alcohol and Drug Abuse in Sexual and Nonsexual Violent Offenders"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Jeffrey","family":"Abracen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Regional Treatment Centre (Ontario), 555 King St. West,\rKingston, Ontario, Canada K7L 4V7."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Looman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Regional Treatment Centre (Ontario), 555 King St. West,\rKingston, Ontario, Canada K7L 4V7."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dana","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kingston Penitentiary, Kingston, Ontario, Canada."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"621","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-006X.59.5.621","volume":"59","author":"Barbaree, H.E.","year":"1991","journal-title":"Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology"},{"key":"atypb2","first-page":"32","volume":"10","author":"Boland, F.","year":"1998","journal-title":"Forum on Corrections Research"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"959","DOI":"10.15288\/qjsa.1974.35.959","volume":"35","author":"Boyatzis, R.E.","year":"1974","journal-title":"Quarterly Journal of Studies in Alcohol"},{"key":"atypb4","volume-title":"A descriptive study of incarcerated rapists and pedophiles.
