These crimes include rape, robbery, aggravated assault and simple assault. It is also very notable and interesting to seee that at least 35% of the violent crime victims identified themselves as also being under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the violent crimes against them. The three- million offenses do not include numerous victims who have been killed or mainmed by drunk drivers. Convicted murderers in State prisons reported that uncontrolled alcohol abuse was a factor in roughly half the murders they have committed. Gang members often report a night of heavy drinking with a bloody and messy drive by shooting. Alcohol abuse can be identified in a number of college campus rapes and there appears to be a significant correlation between domestic violence and alcohol consumption. When alcohol enters the blood stream it acts as a depressant. It loosens the inhibitions of the (ab)user, often causing them to become involved in behavior they would normally shy away from.
