Chapter 11: Liquor regulation: beyond the night-time economy
نویسنده
چکیده
The role of liquor licensing in reducing or facilitating alcohol-related harm is increasingly the focus of public and policy attention. In particular, media and governments have focused heavily on late-night entertainment precincts and alcohol-related violence. In this chapter, I will summarise the local and international research evidence highlighting the broader range of health and social problems that alcohol contributes to and the potential role of the packaged liquor market in driving these harms. The key argument of this chapter will be that public health researchers, governments and regulators should pay more attention to the effective regulation of the packaged liquor industry in order to reduce the broader range of alcohol-related harms in Australia.
