Abstract

Substance use is associated with anger and violence, however the extent of substance use among stalkers has not yet been systematically mapped. The aim of this scoping review was to identify substance use behaviour among stalkers who have been charged or convicted for stalking behaviour. A scoping review was conducted, and nine studies met the inclusion criteria. Substance use among stalkers was inconsistently defined and therefore the percentage of stalkers who used substances ranged from 0 % to 64 %. Substance use was most commonly defined by a psychiatric diagnosis while substance use immediately before or during the stalking offence was reported infrequently. Studies defining substance use more stringently reported lower proportions of substance use among stalkers. Few studies differentiated between alcohol and drug use or considered comorbidity. Overall, this review identified stalkers' substance use as a research gap; few studies met the inclusion criteria, contemporary evidence was sparse, and there was an absence of research underpinned by addiction or non-forensic clinical perspectives. Future research should consider the temporal proximity of stalkers' substance use with their stalking behaviour as this may have greater relevance to intervention than the presence of a diagnostic history.

跟踪者与药物使用:范围审查
使用药物与愤怒和暴力有关,但尚未对跟踪者使用药物的程度进行系统的调查。本次范围界定审查的目的是查明因跟踪行为而被起诉或定罪的跟踪者使用药物的行为。我们进行了范围界定审查,有九项研究符合纳入标准。对跟踪者使用药物的定义并不一致,因此使用药物的跟踪者比例从 0% 到 64% 不等。使用药物最常见的定义是精神病诊断,而在紧接着跟踪犯罪之前或期间使用药物的报告并不多见。对使用药物进行更严格界定的研究报告称,跟踪者中使用药物的比例较低。很少有研究对酗酒和吸毒加以区分或考虑到合并症。总体而言,本综述将跟踪者使用药物确定为一个研究空白;符合纳入标准的研究很少,当代证据稀少,缺乏以成瘾或非法医临床视角为基础的研究。未来的研究应考虑跟踪者使用药物与跟踪行为在时间上的接近性,因为这可能比是否有诊断史与干预措施有更大的相关性。

期刊介绍: Aggression and Violent Behavior, A Review Journal is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes substantive and integrative reviews, as well as summary reports of innovative ongoing clinical research programs on a wide range of topics germane to the field of aggression and violent behavior. Papers encompass a large variety of issues, populations, and domains, including homicide (serial, spree, and mass murder: sexual homicide), sexual deviance and assault (rape, serial rape, child molestation, paraphilias), child and youth violence (firesetting, gang violence, juvenile sexual offending), family violence (child physical and sexual abuse, child neglect, incest, spouse and elder abuse), genetic predispositions, and the physiological basis of aggression.
