Abstract

Research findings in Australia published in September 2016 - the first systematic review of alcohol trading hours and violence in more than five years - show that restricting alcohol trading hours can substantially reduce rates of violence and relaxing trading hours has the opposite effect. "From reviewing the evidence, the message is clear - the more you restrict alcohol trading hours, the more you reduce violence," said lead author Claire Wilkinson from Melbourne's Centre for Alcohol Policy Research at La Trobe University. The findings are "strong enough" for recommendations to governments to make restrictions on late trading hours and the weight of evidence - both Australian and international - demonstrates the effectiveness of restricting alcohol trading hours in combating violence. According to the review, evidence from international studies was "compelling".
