A new Alcohol Concern factsheet, written by Dr Phil Hadfield (University of Leeds) and Dr Andrew Newton (University of Huddersfield) is now available:
Alcohol, Crime and Disorder in the Night-time Economy [pdf]
The factsheet provides a comprehensive review of the NTE in relation to alcohol and the many interlocking crime and public health issues. It compares national crime and disorder data with the results of street-based surveys and finds important variations - suggesting that people in the NTE drink more than the national average and drink at higher levels than their peers. The factsheet looks in detail at the 2003 Licensing Act and the dilemmas which face local authorities, police and their partner agencies in developing statements of licensing policy and planning local alcohol strategies to achieve safer, more sustainable and welcoming NTE's.
