This FIRST award proposal is for a secondary data analysis of drug- homicide relationships among offenders who committed homicide(s). The existing data sets for the study are self-report DREIM (Drug Relationships in Murder) interview data and official government records, EOC (Emergency Or Crisis) and CCH (Computerized Criminal History). the two official reports will be used mainly to obtain additional data which were not available from the DREIM interview (e.g., sentencing information) and to check the validity of information about criminal history. The study sample is composed of the 268 homicide offenders who were successfully interviewed for the DREIM project. Each was convicted and incarcerated in a New York State correctional facility for committing murder(s) in 1984. Both drug/alcohol use and crime/violence are growing problems in many American cities. Law enforcement experts predict that drug proliferation is the most critical problem law enforcement will face in the 1990's. It is generally assumed that engaging in one type of deviance is predictive of participation in other types of deviance. The main aim of this proposed study is to enhance understanding of drug/alcohol-related homicide, by comparing substance-related homicide with non-substance- related homicide using multivariate analyses. (Most previous studies utilized only descriptive analyses.) The direct and indirect impacts of socio/demographic factors and the offenders' deviant life histories (i.e., drug use, criminality, violent behavior, drug/alcohol treatment experiences) on homicide will be examined. Another aim of this proposed study is to identify problems (related to drug/crime/homicide) among the different subgroups, and consider policies/programs that might address such problems. Identifying problems is the first step towards prevention and resolution of the problems. The main variables used in this proposed study are socio/demographic background, drug use history (including treatment experiences), criminal history, and violent behavior (including homicide). Along with quantitative analyses, a qualitative method will also be employed for describing the offender's narration of the homicide and his/her life history.

第一个奖励提案是用于药物的二级数据分析 - 犯有杀人罪的罪犯之间的凶杀关系。 这 该研究的现有数据集是自我报告DREIM（药物 谋杀关系）面试数据和官方政府记录， EOC（紧急或危机）和CCH（计算机化犯罪历史）。 这 两项官方报告将主要用于获取其他数据 是Dreim采访中没有的（例如，量刑 信息）并检查有关犯罪的信息的有效性 历史。 研究样本由268名凶杀罪犯组成 被成功采访了Dreim项目。 每个人都被定罪 并在纽约州的惩教室被监禁 1984年谋杀。 毒品/酒精使用和犯罪/暴力都在许多人越来越多的问题 美国城市。 执法专家预测药物扩散 执法部门将在1990年代面临最关键的问题。 通常认为从事一种偏差是 预测参与其他类型的偏差。 主要目的 这项拟议的研究是为了增强对药物/酒精相关的理解 凶杀，通过将与物质相关的凶杀与非替代品进行比较 使用多元分析的相关凶杀案。 （大多数先前的研究 仅利用描述性分析。） 社会/人口统计学因素和罪犯的异常生活史 （即毒品使用，犯罪，暴力行为，毒品/酒精治疗 经验）将检查凶杀案。 该提议的另一个目的 研究是确定问题（与毒品/犯罪/凶杀有关） 不同的子组，并考虑可能解决的政策/计划 这样的问题。 识别问题是预防的第一步 和解决问题的解决方案。 该提出的主要变量 研究是社会/人口统计背景，药物使用史（包括 治疗经历），犯罪史和暴力行为（包括 杀人）。 除定量分析外，定性方法将 也被用来描述罪犯的杀人叙事 和他/她的人生历史。
