Ronet Bachman and Robert Peralta University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware, USA While many studies have examined the relationship between alcohol and violence in adult populations, little research has examined this relationship in adolescent populations. Using a large nationally representative sample of older adolescents from the Monitoring the Future Survey, this article found heavy alcohol and polydrug use to increase the likelihood of violent ofending even after controlling for other variables like home environment, grades in school, and race. When separate modes predicting violence were examined for both males and females, alcohol and polydrug use continued to increase the likelihood of violence for both sexes. Attaining high grades in school decreased the likelihood of violence for both males and females. Several differences did emerge across gender-specific models for other variables, however. African-American males were more likely to engage in violence compared to White males, but race was not a significant predictor of violence Received 17 July 2000; accepted 21 January 2001. An earlier version of this article was presented at the 1998 (March) meeting of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences, New Mexico. The authors thank Steve Martin and Cynthia Robbins at the Center for Drug and Alcohol Studies at the University of Delaware and the anonymous reviewers for Deviant Behaviorfor their insightfiul comments and suggestions on earlier drafts of this manuscript.
