本文的目的是研究酒精和非法药物管制之间的关系，以及在美国具有全国代表性的个人样本中犯罪暴力的发生率。这些数据来自1992年、1993年和1994年的全国犯罪受害调查。暴力是通过身体攻击、强奸/性侵犯、抢劫以及涉及酒精或毒品的暴力犯罪来衡量的。偏好规范的结果表明，更高的啤酒税降低了袭击和涉及酒精或毒品的袭击的可能性，但没有降低强奸或抢劫的可能性。可卡因价格越高，袭击和抢劫的可能性就越低。被归类为大麻合法化的州，袭击和抢劫的可能性更高，尽管对持有大麻的另一种惩罚措施——更长的监禁刑期——证实了惩罚只对袭击有效。(c) 2005爱思唯尔公司版权所有。
The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between alcohol and illegal drug regulation, and the incidence of criminal violence in a nationally representative sample of individuals in the United States. The data come from the 1992, 1993 and 1994 National Crime Victimization Surveys. Violence is measured by physical assault, rape/sexual assault, robbery, and alcohol- or drug-involved violent crimes. Results from the preferred specifications indicate that higher beer taxes decrease the probability of assault and alcohol- or drug-involved assault, but not rape or robbery. Higher cocaine prices are associated with lower probabilities of assaults and robberies. States which are classified as decriminalized for marijuana tend to have higher probabilities of assault and robbery, although an alternative measure of the penalty for possession of marijuana, longer jail sentences, confirms the penalty effect only for assault.
