Description

Raising the Bar provides a comprehensive review of knowledge about bar room environments and their regulation. It explores how drinking establishments can be high-risk areas for aggression, violence, and injury, and how some are riskier than others. The authors examine existing interventions and policies, highlighting their effectiveness and limitations. They argue that better regulatory models are needed to achieve safer drinking establishments, and provide evidence-based preventive strategies to tackle the problem. The book draws on extensive research experience and knowledge of the alcohol field, as well as prevention, policing, and regulation more broadly. By understanding the nature of problem behaviours in public drinking establishments, this book offers valuable insights into how to address aggression and injury in these settings.
