“…Further complicating the research landscape, some questions refer to alcohol use occurring specifically outside of family or religious contexts (e.g., Warner et al, 2007), as drinking characterized by consuming more than just a few sips (e.g., Morean et al, 2014), or as drinking characterized by consuming a specific number of drinks (e.g., “a whole drink;” Kuperman, 2005). Of concern, in a number of cases, researchers have not reported explicitly what question they used to assess AO (e.g., Baltieri, 2014; Handley et al, 2013; Hayatbakhsh et al, 2014). Assessing AO using different questions may contribute to the inconsistencies in findings about the risk conferred by an early AO.…”

“…It has been argued that early onset substance and alcohol use are important risk factors for violent crime amongst women [44]. A Finnish study examining the characteristics of female violent offenders concluded that women with severe SUD were more frequent to reoffend violently than women with no SUD and that this group of women often had personality disorders and a non-violent criminal history [45].…”

Criminal recidivism is a major global concern. There is a well-known association between substance use disorders and offending. Yet, little is known about crime-specific recidivism. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between specific substance use and crime-specific recidivism. The study is based on 4207 Swedish prison clients with substance use assessed with Addiction Severity Index interviews between 2001 and 2006. Clients were followed for an average of 2.7 years. Risk factors for criminal recidivism were assessed with the Cox regression analysis. Sixty-eight percent of the clients returned to the criminal justice system. Apart from well-known risk factors such as male gender and young age, amphetamine, injection drug use, prior prosecution for violent and property crime, as well as homelessness and psychiatric problems, were risk factors for criminal recidivism. Sedatives and cannabis were, in this setting, negative risk factors for general recidivism. Age, heroin and injection drug use elevated the risks of recidivism to property and drug crime. Alcohol was associated with violent recidivism. When analysing different categories of crime separately, risk factors differed substantially. This further highlights the need for crime-specific research. Identifying crime-specific risk factors should be an important part of improving rehabilitation into society after imprisonment and hopefully decrease recidivism.

“…This is important since women with substance use problems convicted for violent crime suffer the same risk of reoffending violently as do their male counterparts. It has been argued that early onset substance and alcohol use are important risk factors for violent crime amongst women [44]. A Finnish study examining the characteristics of female violent offenders concluded that women with severe SUD were more frequent to reoffend violently than women with no SUD and that this group of women often had personality disorders and a non-violent criminal history [48].…”

Background: Criminal recidivism is a major global concern. There is a well-known relation between substance use disorders and offending. Yet, little is known about crime-specific recidivism. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between specific substance use and crime-specific recidivism. Methods: The study is based on 4,207 Swedish prison clients with substance use assessed with Addiction Severity Index interviews between 2001 and 2006. Clients were followed for an average of 2.7 years. Risk factors for criminal recidivism were assessed with Cox regression analysis. Results: Sixty-eight percent of the clients returned to the criminal justice system. Apart from well-known risk factors such as male gender and young age, amphetamine, injection drug use, prior prosecution for violent and property crime as well as homelessness and psychiatric problems were risk factors for criminal recidivism. Sedatives and cannabis were in this setting negative risk factors for general recidivism. Age, heroin and injection drug use elevated risks of recidivism to property and drug crime. Alcohol was associated with violent recidivism. Conclusions: Looking at different categories of crime separately, risk factors differed substantially. This further highlight the need for crime-specific research. Identifying crime-specific risk factors should be an important part of improving rehabilitation into society after imprisonment and hopefully decrease recidivism.
