项目摘要

The proliferation of violent crime in the United States has fostered the developing relationship between the health care and criminal justice fields. One area where the interface between the medical and justice professions is particularly salient is the violence associated with sale of illicit drugs. Juvenile drug sellers have been found to be particularly at risk for both perpetrating and being the victims of violent crimes. In addition, these youth are also reported to be at greater risk for substance abuse. We have recently found, however, that youth incarcerated in Virginia for drug selling offenses tended to be less violent, and did not present with a higher incidence of drug and/or alcohol dependence than other delinquent comparison groups. On the other hand, youth engaged in significant patterns of delinquency, in addition to drug selling activities, may have been adjudicated for these other offenses, and thereby excluded from our sample. We have identified a second population of juvenile drug sellers within the juvenile correctional setting. These youth are postulated to differ from our earlier sample with respect to increased levels of violence, delinquency and substance use. We have also recently documented a high rate of gunshot injuries in juvenile drug traffickers, as well as other delinquent youth. One variable found to correlate reliably with these injuries was an increase in self-reported promiscuity, possibly reflecting a generalized pattern of high risk behavior. Thus, it is further hypothesized that the epidemiology and etiology of penetrating trauma (e.g., firearm or knife injuries) are related to substance use, drug trafficking and other high risk behaviors. Therefore, the goal of this study is to compare and contrast the substance use patterns, levels of delinquency, violence and other high risk behaviors, including penetrating trauma and high risk sexual activity, in the two populations of juvenile offenders engaged in drug selling activities. The results of this research will allow for a better characterization of juveniles who sell drugs, as well as identify antecedents for gunshot and high risk behaviors in delinquent youth such that effective treatment programming may be developed and implemented.

美国暴力犯罪猖獗，发展医疗保健与刑事司法之间的关系字段。医疗与司法之间的交界处之一职业中尤为突出的是与销售相关的暴力行为非法药物。青少年贩毒者被发现尤其面临实施和受害的风险暴力犯罪。此外，据报道，这些年轻人还药物滥用的风险更大。然而我们最近发现，弗吉尼亚州因贩毒罪被监禁的青少年人数往往较少暴力，并且没有出现较高的吸毒和/或酒精依赖程度高于其他不良对照组。另一方面另一方面，青少年除了犯罪外，还存在严重的犯罪行为毒品销售活动，可能已因这些其他活动而被裁定犯罪行为，因此被排除在我们的样本之外。我们已经确定了一个 second population of juvenile drug sellers within the juvenile 矫正设置。这些年轻人被认为与我们不同关于暴力、犯罪程度增加的早期样本和物质使用。我们最近还记录了高比率青少年毒贩以及其他罪犯的枪伤青年。发现与这些伤害可靠相关的一个变量是自我报告的乱交现象有所增加，可能反映出高风险行为的一般模式。由此可见，进一步假设穿透伤的流行病学和病因学（例如，枪伤或刀伤）与物质使用、毒品有关贩运和其他高风险行为。因此，本次活动的目标研究的目的是比较和对比物质使用模式、物质使用水平犯罪、暴力和其他高风险行为，包括渗透两个青少年群体中的创伤和高风险性活动犯罪分子从事毒品销售活动。这样做的结果研究将有助于更好地描述贩卖青少年的特征毒品，以及识别枪击和高风险行为的前因 in delinquent youth such that effective treatment programming may be 制定并实施。
