Sažetak
Two groups of alcoholics were investigated in this study: sentenced and hospitalized. The groups were compared according to aggression as a relatively stable personality trait and the test for aggression by Zuzul - the level of manifest aggression (LMA) was also applied. The sentenced alcoholics' group diffeed from the hospitalized group of alcoholics only by the manifest aggression and by the behavioral disorders. The hospitalized alcoholics showed a higher level of latent and manifest aggression as a personality trait. The results of our research indicate that the personality features weren't decisive to whether alcoholic would commit a felony and since the alcoholism factor were kept under control (both groups were alcoholics) the conculsion is that circumstantial factors were those that determined the act most frequently. Alcoholics are a high-risk criminogenic group, therefore only the preventive intervention and treatment can indirectly prevent their criminal behavior.
