本研究使用来自加州641名州立监狱假释犯的数据，研究甲基苯丙胺使用与三种犯罪行为之间的关联：（a）自我报告的暴力犯罪行为，（B）因暴力犯罪返回监狱，（c）在假释的前12个月内因任何原因返回监狱。甲基苯丙胺的使用显著预测了自我报告的暴力犯罪行为和一般累犯（即，以任何理由返回拘留所）。然而，甲基苯丙胺的使用并不能显著预测因暴力犯罪而被送回拘留所。即使在控制了参与毒品交易之后，这些趋势仍然存在（即，销售、分销或制造）。
This study uses data from 641 state prison parolees in California to examine the associations between methamphetamine use and three measures of criminal behavior: (a) self-reported violent criminal behavior, (b) return to prison for a violent offense, and (c) return to prison for any reason during the first 12 months of parole. Methamphetamine use was significantly predictive of self-reported violent criminal behavior and general recidivism (i.e., a return to custody for any reason). However, methamphetamine use was not significantly predictive of being returned to custody for a violent offense. These trends remained even after controlling for involvement in the drug trade (i.e., sales, distribution, or manufacturing).
