This book provides a definitive review of knowledge about bar room
environments and their regulation, and provides directions for the
prevention of aggression, violence and injury in and around public
drinking establishments. It shows why drinking establishments are
high risk for aggression, why some establishments are riskier than
others, the effectiveness of existing interventions and policies,
and the importance of better regulatory models for achieving safer
drinking establishments. The authors emphasise the need to
understand the problem and to tackle it through evidence-based
preventive strategies, providing a detailed review of the nature of
problem behaviours within the specific context of public drinking
establishments - while recognising that these establishments are
businesses that operate in diverse communities and cultures.
Special attention is paid to the difficulties in implementing and
sustaining effective interventions within the kinds of regulatory
structures and political and economic climates that currently
prevail in western countries. The book draws upon the authors'
extensive experience with observational, interview and intervention
research related to reducing aggression and injury in drinking
establishments, as well as their knowledge of the alcohol field,
and of prevention, policing and regulation more generally.
