研究人员认为，醉酒的肇事者可能比其他肇事者行为更暴力，尽管经验研究结果好坏参半。过去的研究集中在是否饮酒，而不是饮酒量，这可能解释了这些不一致的发现。作者假设，饮酒量与攻击的严重程度呈曲线关系。研究人员收集了113名大学男生的数据，他们报告说，他们从14岁起就犯下了性侵犯行为。犯罪者在攻击过程中消耗的酒精量与他们使用的攻击量呈线性关系，与所犯的性攻击类型呈曲线关系。受害者在攻击过程中消耗的酒精量与性攻击的类型呈线性关系。提高评估性侵犯研究中的酒精消费的策略进行了讨论。
Researchers have suggested that intoxicated perpetrators may act more violently than other perpetrators, although empirical findings have been mixed. Past research has focused on whether or not alcohol was consumed, rather than the quantity consumed, and this may explain these inconsistent findings. The authors hypothesized that the quantity of alcohol consumed would have a curvilinear relationship to the severity of the assault. Data were collected from 113 college men who reported that they had committed a sexual assault since the age of 14. The quantity of alcohol that perpetrators consumed during the assault was linearly related to how much aggression they used and was curvilinearly related to the type of sexual assault committed. The quantity of alcohol that victims consumed during the assault was linearly related to the type of sexual assault committed. Strategies for improving assessment of alcohol consumption in sexual assault research are discussed.
