title: [Panorama change in alcohol-criminality. Analysis of blood alcohol findings evaluated in the year 1965 and 1975 (author's transl)].
abstract: Evaluation of 8834 blood alcohol findings from individuals in police custody and suspect of criminal actions (3434 relate to the year 1965, 5400 to 1975). Classification of the findings according to the following aspects: blood alcohol concentrations in general and with regard to sex, profession, age and nature of the suspected offense--the findings of the two years (1965 and 1975) are compared and the individual results presented. The analysis suggests that: In young people of any age-group the absolute number of alcohol delicts shows a considerable increase during the last 10 years (1965--1975). In adults, with the exception of the 31--40 year age-group, there was no significant increase in these offences. Comparing the results of the individual delicts in 1965 and 1975 there was no significant difference in the level of the blood alcohol-concentration-groups. Unskilled workers were more frequently involved in nearly all alcohol-related crimes. In 1965 6,6% and in 1975 7,9% of alcohol-related offenses were committed by females. Compared with other districts in 1975 alcohol-criminality has increased significantly in the new suburban colonies of Hamburg (built since 1965) (public housing, high-rise housing).
