The research was based on some personality traits of alcoholics, such as special qualities of psychopathological and socio-pathological characteristics of alcoholic offenders according to the type of criminal offence and non-offenders. The research was carried out in prison and hospital system in Popovača. Two groups of examinees were included. The experimental group (E) (N=96) consisted of persons convicted for homicide (Nl=32), traffic offences (N2=32) and offences against property (N3=32). The control group (K) (N4=64) consisted of alcoholics undergoing hospital treatment at the Alcoholism Department of Neuropsychiatric Hospital Dr. Ivan Barbot in Popovača.
