Book excerpt: "The changes in behavior which follow the consumption of alcohol are a function of personality, social circumstances, and cultural traditions, rather than physiological effects alone. Standard personality tests fail to differentiate alcoholics from non-alcoholics. Tests show that a majority of persons arrested for felonies have been drinking, especially in cases of armed assault and weapon possession. Alcoholism is often associated with "native" offenses, such as petty forgeries to finance drinking habits. These alcoholic forgers are generally older and more educated than most criminals. Chronic police case inebriates, the largest arrest category in the United States, are involved in disorderly conduct, drunken driving and vagrancy offenses. These cases are a heavy burden to parole boards because of recurrent drunkenness arrests in middle and old age. The authors discuss the role of Alcoholics Anonymous in the treatment of alcoholics in the community and the prison."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judith Rumgay explores theoretical explanations of the alcohol-crime relationship, critically analyzes their empirical support in research, and develops a perspective bases on expectancy theory, which suggests that alcohol facilitates offending behavior less through its real pharmacological effects than through the variety of common sense beliefs about those effects which are embedded in everyday life. An empirical study of magistrates' sentencing decisions illuminates the diversity of explanations for crime based intoxication, through the appeal to common sense beliefs about alcohol's effects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work more effectively with DWI offenders! This valuable book provides current information on the psychological, social-demographic, and psychiatric characteristics of DWI offenders. It also will provide you with up-to-date assessment strategies that can be employed with offenders, who characteristically are resistant to such assessment. Until now, books written on this subject have focused purely on research that has been done with offenders. This book, however, provides both theoretical and applied strategies for working with this very difficult population in clinical/treatment settings. Assessment and Treatment of the DWI Offender provides practical treatment approaches such that will help you manage client resistance and incorporate family members and significant others into the treatment process to more effectively treat offenders. Assessment and Treatment of the DWI Offender examines: the important variables that separate DWI offenders from alcoholics in general, as well as the “normal” population patterns of drinking behavior among offenders the magnitude of the DWI problem in the United States the history of the DWI countermeasures movement prevention and public education organizations such as SADD, MADD, the Partners in Progress program, the College Binge Drinking Initiative, and more enforcement techniques like breath testing, standardized field sobriety tests, on-site drug detection devices, etc. problems with the tools and techniques that are currently being used to address this issue interviewing techniques that work with DWI offenders more! Intended primarily for counselors, social workers, psychologists, and other professionals who work with DWI offenders and packed with helpful and easy-to-read statistical charts and tables, this book is also essential for graduate students in psychology, social work, chemical dependency, or any of the helping professions.
