  /AB    ABSTRACT:  Data from intensive interviews with 100 juveniles were used to 
      examine  the  relationship  between  drugs,  alcohol, and crime among the 
      respondents. 
         The study site was a medium-sized New York State city similar to other 
      medium-sized  cities in New York State and the Nation in terms of age and 
      ethnic  distributions,  socioeconomic structure, and income distribution. 
      The students were selected from a junior and senior high school serving a 
      city  district with various socioeconomic characteristics. The interviews 
      focused  on  whether  drug  use  leads  to crime, why and how youths sell 
      drugs,  how  thefts  are  linked  to  drug use, how assaultive crimes are 
      related to drug and alcohol use, risk factors in drug and alcohol use and 
      delinquency,  and  whether  criminal  justice  sanctions  deter  juvenile 
      criminality  and  drug  use.  Findings indicate that seriously delinquent 
      youths  are  usually  regular  drug  and  alcohol users and that linkages 
      between  drugs  and  crime  are  complex  and have different meanings for 
      youths  depending on time, place, and interactions with others. Virtually 
      all  delinquents  stated  they  did  not commit thefts and other property 
      crimes  to  obtain  drug  money.  Youths relied on conventional wisdom in 
      explaining how drugs and alcohol influence the criminality of others, but 
      not  themselves.  Fear  of criminal sanctions as an adult has a deterrent 
      effect among segments of juvenile delinquents. Chapter notes, 9 tables, a 
      subject index, and 264 references.
