"Alcohol-outlet density and violence are clearly linked over time
A new Australian study examines the relationship between alcohol-outlet density and violence over time.
All three types of outlets examined – hotel pubs, bars and packaged-liquor outlets –had positive relationships with assault rates.
Hotel pubs and bars were the biggest drivers of violence in inner-city areas, while packaged-liquor outlets were more important in suburban areas."
