Anabolic androgenic steroids and violence
I. Thiblin1, T. Pärlklo2
Objective: To scrutinize the criminal career among users of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) with focus on a possible relationship between use of AAS and violent offences.

Method: Prospective longitudinal follow-up of police records concerning known users of AAS.

Results: The present study describes five young men who started to use AAS with the primary motive of gaining muscle mass and strength and who subsequently got involved in criminal activities, including violent offences. One person showed deviant behaviour suggestive of conduct disorder at an early age. The other persons appeared to have low self-confidence, but had not been acting out during early adolescence.

Conclusion: Use of AAS may constitute an increased risk of developing an antisocial life style with involvement in criminal violence.

Notice they only had 5 people in the study.. and to take a small group like that and make a wide research reach is alittle unethical to me..

I agree this kind of research is called "case study" its used when there isnt enough sample size. But generally the results of such a study cant be generalized on larger population.

One really only look at where it was published.

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica

There's a reason you've never heard of this journal :)
 
I do know what a case study is... I use them in some of my research that I do but you still have a larger sample size and you still have a harder time drawing conculsions that will go for a larger group
