“…Several studies have found a higher consumption of licit and illicit drugs in families where there is violence towards women or when the offender uses alcohol and drugs [26][27][28] , characterizing alcohol consumption as a risk factor for violence against women. The relationship between alcohol consumption and crime is recognized as a serious social and public health issue, because alcohol, due to pharmacological stimulation, acts as a releasing factor for aggression, and has been used as justification for abusive behavior by both the perpetrators and the professionals and institutions 28,29 .…”

ABSTRACT:This study aimed to assess the female homicide rate due to aggression in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, using this as a "proxy" of femicide. This was an ecological study which correlated the female homicide rate due to aggression in Rio Grande do Sul, according to the 35 microregions defined by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), with socioeconomic and demographic variables access and health indicators. Pearson's correlation test was performed with the selected variables. After this, multiple linear regressions were performed with variables with p < 0.20. The standardized average of female homicide rate due to aggression in the period from 2003 to 2007 was 3.1 obits per 100 thousand. After multiple regression analysis, the final model included male mortality due to aggression (p = 0.016), the percentage of hospital admissions for alcohol (p = 0.005) and the proportion of ill-defined deaths (p = 0.015). The model have an explanatory power of 39% (adjusted r2 = 0.391). The results are consistent with other studies and indicate a strong relationship between structural violence in society and violence against women, in addition to a higher incidence of female deaths in places with high alcohol hospitalization.

“…The deviant peer group serves as a training ground for antisocial and violent behavior from middle to late adolescence (Dishion, Andrews, Kavanagh, & Soberman, 1996;Dishion, Eddy, Haas, Li, & Spracklen, 1997). Deviant peer groups further increase the risk of substance abuse (Dishion, Capaldi, Spracklen, & Li, 1995), which has been strongly linked to partner violence in adults (Murphy, O'Farrell, Fals-Stewart, & Feehan, 2001).…”

An unselected sample of 543 children was followed over 20 years to test the independent effects of parenting, exposure to domestic violence between parents (ETDV), maltreatment, adolescent disruptive behavior disorders, and emerging adult substance abuse disorders (SUDs) on the risk of violence to and from an adult partner. Conduct disorder (CD) was the strongest risk for perpetrating partner violence for both sexes, followed by ETDV, and power assertive punishment. The effect of child abuse was attributable to these 3 risks. ETDV conferred the greatest risk of receiving partner violence; CD increased the odds of receiving partner violence but did not mediate this effect. Child physical abuse and CD in adolescence were strong independent risks for injury to a partner. SUD mediated the effect of adolescent CD on injury to a partner but not on injury by a partner. Prevention implications are highlighted.

“…Unos resultados similares se han observado incluso en pacientes que presentan problemas relacionados con la adicción al juego (Korman et al, 2008). Además, en algunos estudios ha quedado clara la influencia del consumo de sustancias, principalmente alcohol, en el desarrollo y desencadenamiento de episodios violentos contra la pareja (Fals-Stewart, 2003;Fals-Stewart, Leonard, y Birchler, 2005;Murphy, O´Farrell, Fals-Stewart, y Feehan, 2001;Muñoz-Rivas, Gámez, Graña y Fernández, 2010;. Sin embargo, a pesar de la relación existente entre el consumo de sustancias y la presencia de conductas violentas, hoy por hoy no hay ningún estudio que establezca una relación causal entre ambos fenómenos (Leonard, 2005).…”

There is a close relationship between substance abuse (alcohol and other drugs) and intimate partner violence. Studies carried out with male offenders and with addicted patients show a high comorbidity rate between these two phenomena. However, few batterer intervention programmes have been implemented to date in the field of drug addiction. This paper proposes, first, the need to detect cases of intimate partner violence that are camouflaged beneath a drug problem. Thus, it is important to determine the prevalence rate of intimate partner aggressors among users of drug-addiction treatment programmes, as well as identifying the specific characteristics of these patients. Second, once aggressors are identified, it would be possible to develop specific programmes for the simultaneous treatment of the two problems (addiction and intimate partner violence). Some studies have already been carried with joint treatments for addiction and intimate partner violence.The results obtained are encouraging, and show that intervention programs with addictions can be a useful framework for applying also, where necessary, specific treatments for those addicted patients with an associated problem of intimate partner violence. Finally, implications for clinical practice and future research in this field are discussed.Key words: addictions, intimate partner violence, batterers, treatment RESUMEN ABSTRACTExiste una relación muy estrecha entre el consumo de sustancias (alcohol y otras drogas) y la violencia hacia la pareja. Los estudios llevados a cabo con hombres maltratadores y con pacientes adictos muestran una alta comorbilidad entre ambos fenómenos. Sin embargo, hasta la fecha han sido muy escasos los programas de intervención con maltratadores que se han aplicado en el ámbito de las drogodependencias. En este artículo se propone, en primer lugar, la necesidad de detectar los casos de violencia contra la pareja que aparecen camuflados bajo un problema de consumo de drogas. En este sentido, es necesario llevar a cabo estudios que determinen la tasa de prevalencia de agresores contra la pareja entre los usuarios de los programas de tratamiento para el abuso de sustancias, así como conocer las características específicas de este tipo de pacientes. En segundo lugar, una vez detectados los agresores, se podrían desarrollar programas específicos para el tratamiento simultáneo de ambas problemáticas (adicción y violencia hacia la pareja). Se han llevado a cabo algunos estudios con tratamientos conjuntos de la adicción y de la violencia de pareja. Los resultados obtenidos son esperanzadores y muestran que los programas de intervención con adicciones pueden ser un marco útil para aplicar también, en los casos necesarios, un tratamiento específico para aquellos adictos con un problema asociado de violencia contra la pareja. Se comentan las implicaciones de todo ello para la práctica clínica y para las investigaciones futuras.
