Yes, and especially methamphetamines. Users have impaired restraint and judgement, and eventually psychosis. The high addictiveness of meth means addicts will do almost anything to get more.

The above answer is not accurate:

1) There is methamphetamine. There aren'tmethamphetamine(s).

2) There is currently insufficient evidence to infer a direct causal link between methamphetamine use and violence, but there is considerable evidence that the two entitie sare related.

3) The strongest evidence for a relationship between methamphetamine use and violence is in the context of methamphetamine-induced psychosis. In this context, violence is likely to be related topersecutory delusions and perceived threat. There is also experimental evidence that chronic use of the drug increases the risk of violent behaviour, and a proportion of chronic methamphetamine users report

problems controlling violent behaviour.

4) Despite this evidence, it is not clear whether violent behaviour among chronic methamphetamine users is due to methamphetamine use per se or co-occurring factors (e.g. alcohol use, psychiatric status, personality, lifestyle associated with illicit drug use).

5) Acute intoxication with methamphetamine alone does not appear to lead to violent behaviour, but it may enhance aggression in someone who is otherwise provoked.

In conclusion, there is currently insuffi cient empirical data to estimate whether, or to what extent, methamphetamine use has increased assaults.

Compare and contrast the influences of heredity and hormones on human behavior?

Heredity allows for the passing of traits from one generation to the next. It is scientifically proven that genes influence human behavior. Some individuals are genetically predisposed to alcoholism, intelligence or aggressive behavior. This supports the argument that behavioral traits are genetically ingrained. Hormones cause mood swings, and hormonal imbalance has underlying effects on behavior. For instance a high level of testosterone is linked to aggressive behavior. Elevated levels of thyroid hormone causes irritability, and this is observed in middle aged women.
