The relationship of alcohol misuse to aggressive behavior and violence
is a complex one, and research has shown that this relationship is more than
associative. In addition to alcohol misuse promoting aggressive behavior,
victimization as a result of violence can lead to excessive alcohol consump-
tion. Strategies to prevent violence must take this into account and, to be
effective, must deal with the alcohol use of both the perpetrators and the
victims of violence. Alcohol affects the person and behavior at many lev-
els from the cell, to the brain, to the individual as a whole, to particular
neighborhoods and micro cultures, to the global society. For more than
20 years, Dr. Murray has worked at the IAAA in positions that have led
to collaboration with scientists across all of its divisions and offices. She
hopes to bring a broad perspective on alcohol misuse to the identification
of effective approaches to global violence prevention.
