That is a question confounded by the fact that, depending on the substance used, crime is more or less likely to be reported . . .and a trial or conviction recorded. In that vein, while it might seem reasonable to pick either methamphetamine or inhaled solvents for their known side effects leading to violence, its far greater and more affordable availability, and its more common presence in domestic situations, leads to the conclusion that alcohol far outweighs other substances as a causative factor in commission of violent crimes. '''Another View:''' Not to mention the all too human factor of GREED.

. . .whether I could agree with that or not, I would still fail to interpret greed as a substance. I am confident that neither did Questioner intend that term to include innate personal traits.

Well in some places the "most violent' are housed in maximum security institutions. But for those institutions where violent and non-violent are housed together, you can bet it is do to the fact that states do not have additional budgets to allocate the different types of offenders according to their offense. And perhaps this should serve as an added deterrent to committing crimes and risking ones freedom.
