Create a 6 pages page paper that discusses alcohol and crime in the us. The sub-claim is that this forced the states to raise the legal drinking age again to twenty-one. The author supports his claim by referring to the findings of researches that were done, that indicated that alcohol-related accidents increased from 15% to 25% after the reduction of the legal drinking age (218). The author applies the theory of the minimum drinking age. The theory proposes that the reduction in the legal drinking age causes changes in a traffic crash and accident involvement by increasing their chances of occurrence. This is because. a reduction in the drinking age changes the drinking norms of the youths by increasing the number of those who drink. This increases the rates of drunken and careless driving and consequently traffic crashes.

I found this article useful for this article with information that can support my claim that alcohol is linked to the crime. This is because. the findings of the researches undertaken indicated an increase in road accident crimes, because of the reduction in drinking age. The author of the article is Wagenaar and the article can be found in jstor.

The article examines the relationship of violent male alcohol consumers and female victims, to the presence of children. According to Hutchison, the presence of children had little impact on the violence of these alcohol consumers. The author claims that alcohol is the root cause of violence at homes. The sub-claim is that the presence of children in such a family where violence and battering are common does not affect the occurrence of violence (58). The author supports this claim by evaluating the evidence supplied to the police, and how the presence of children affects this. The alcohol consumer continues to batter their women even in the presence of their children. According to the article, although alcohol is directly linked to violence and crime, there is not empirical data to support this (60). While there is an extensive study on the link between alcohol violence and crime, the impacts of children present in such incidences are not well covered. According to Hutchison, there exist a connection between alcohol consumption and the committal of acts of violence and crime.
