除了机构样本外，使用一般人口调查对于解开犯罪行为与酗酒问题或使用非法药物之间的关系至关重要。局部区域的研究可能是有用的，但其结果的普遍性很少研究。最近的美国国家（n = 2058）和县（n = 3069）一般人口调查的数据被用来检查酒精问题和药物使用史在预测自我报告的犯罪行为，逮捕和定罪的逻辑回归框架内的作用。在控制年龄，性别，收入，婚姻状况，就业，教育，种族和药物使用的国家和县调查中，终生饮酒问题显着预测当前的犯罪行为（比值比分别为1.3和1.5），在预测逮捕（比值比1.7和1.8）和定罪（比值比1.7和1.6）的等效模型中注意到略强的关系。酒精，毒品和犯罪行为/司法变量之间的关系进行了讨论。美国和县的结果之间的相似之处表明，从社区一级的人口和机构调查的密集，清晰的分析结果可能会谨慎地推广超出其地理位置。
Use of general population surveys in addition to institutional samples is critical to disentangling the relationship between criminal behavior and alcohol problems or use of illicit drugs. Local area studies can be useful but generalizability of their results is seldom studied. Data from recent US national (n = 2058) and county (n = 3069) general population surveys are used to examine the role of alcohol problem and drug use history in predicting self‐reported criminal behavior, arrest and conviction within a logistic regression framework. In the national and county surveys controlling for age, gender, income, marital status, employment, education, race and drug use, lifetime drinking problems significantly predicted current criminal behavior (odds ratios 1.3 and 1.5, respectively) with slightly stronger relationships noted in equivalent models predicting arrest (odds ratios 1.7 and 1.8) and conviction (odds ratios 1.7 and 1.6). Relationships between alcohol, drugs and criminal behavior/justice variables are discussed. Parallels between US and county results suggest that findings from intensive, articulated analyses of community‐level population and institutional surveys may be cautiously generalized beyond their geographic locus.
