    Criminals with antisocial personality disorder show less physical alcohol dependence but exhibit repeated abnormal behaviors when drinking. This pattern, seen in younger individuals, often mirrors their fathers' alcohol use tendencies.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Criminology
    • Addiction Research

    Background:

    • Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) is frequently studied in criminal populations.
    • Understanding the nuances of alcoholism within different personality disorder groups is crucial for effective treatment and rehabilitation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the characteristics of alcoholism in criminals diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder versus those with other personality disorders.
    • To investigate the familial patterns of alcohol abuse in relation to ASPD in criminal offenders.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of alcoholism indicators (physical dependence, self-perception, behavioral patterns) between criminal groups with ASPD and other personality disorders.
    • Examination of paternal history of alcohol abuse in relation to the offender's personality disorder and alcohol use.

    Main Results:

    • Criminals with ASPD reported less physical alcohol dependence compared to those with other personality disorders.
    • Despite lower reported dependence, individuals with ASPD demonstrated a consistent tendency for abnormal behavior under alcohol influence.
    • A significant correlation was observed between fathers with alcohol abuse tendencies and offenders with ASPD.

    Conclusions:

    • Alcoholism in ASPD presents differently, characterized by behavioral issues rather than physical dependence.
    • The familial link suggests a potential genetic or environmental predisposition to both ASPD and alcohol-related behavioral problems.
    • Further research is warranted to explore targeted interventions for alcohol abuse in the ASPD criminal population.
