Abstract
Drunkenness and crime. One of the consequences most dangerous to society of the use of alcoholic beverages, particularly strong ones, is their stimulation of crime. This is evident, for example, in the high percentage of persons committing crimes of self-interest, of violence, and also of negligence while inebriated. This is why study of the relation between crime and the consumption of alcoholic beverages is of particular importance in developing the system of measures for prevention of crime.
