Objective:This paper reviews evidence regarding the deviance disavowal approach to alcohol‐related violence. It focuses on whether alcohol intoxication is used to excuse domestic violence, and whether this can explain alcohol/violence association.Method:Four hypotheses derived from the deviance disavowal approach were identified, including (i) people accept alcohol as a cause of violence; (ii) people attribute less blame and punishment to intoxicated aggressors than to sober aggressors; (iii) the belief that alcohol causes or excuses violence should be associated with and predict the occurrence of alcohol‐related domestic violence; and (iv) the administration of a placebo should increase aggressive behaviour.Results:The review suggested that some people do accept alcohol as a cause of violence, but that alcohol does not appear to mitigate blame, and this belief is not longitudinally predictive of violence.Conclusion:The evidence for a deviance disavowal model of alcohol and domestic violence appears quite weak.
