Numerous authors (Chesney-Lind 1997; Immarigeon and Chesney-Lind, 1992; Kupers, 1999; Owen and Bloom, 1995) correlate the impact of abuse on women with the tendency to cope with life’s difficulties by using, and often abusing, substances.
Others consider racism and other forms of societal oppression to be traumatic stressors that often preceed drug and alcohol abuse (Allen, 1996; Chesney-Lind, 1997; Kupers, 1999; Marsella, 1996; Singer, Bussey and Lunghofer, 1995).
Bloom and Covington (1998) and McClellan (1994) link the psychological, physical, and sexual abuse of women to substance-abusing behavior that precipitates incarceration.
