“…These findings are complementary to other classic findings on alcohol-related violence, for example, expensively decorated city-centre pubs that are attractive to young people being typically the places reporting the most alcohol-related violence (Lang et al 1995). Our findings also augment various ethnographic papers on 'male values' and inter-personal conflict codifying the social context of a recreational drinking .…”

The current study investigated whether scores on the Alcohol Related Aggression Questionnaire (ARAQ) were predictable from the independent influences of personality and intra-sexual competition as measured by the mating effort scale (MES) and whether education had a protective factor in any relationship that arose. Ninety-five participants completed personality, MES and ARAQ scales. Hierachical linear regression independently entering MES followed by agreeableness, conscientiousness, age, education and sex found alcohol-aggression expectancies were predicted by higher MES and younger age; alcohol-related trait aggression was predicted by higher MES, lower agreeableness and younger age; alcohol-related sensitivity to pain and anxiety was related to higher MES and younger age; an expectation of drinking cheap but high potency alcoholic beverages was primarily associated with higher MES alone. These results show that mating effort has a disproportionate influence upon different facets of alcohol-aggression expectancies relative to even established constructs such as personality, and that much of alcohol-related violence in social contexts, may reflect intra-sexual competition and forces within the individual that lead them to discount the future.

“…In fact, attendance and excessive drinking by young males at certain types of licensed premises (nightclubs and hotels) is considered to increase the likelihood of being involved in assaults and other alcohol-related harms, particularly on weekends late at night and in the early morning (Briscoe & Donnelly, *Corresponding author. Email: g.palk@qut.edu.au 2001b; Campbell & Green, 1997;Casswell, Zhang, & Wyllie, 1993;Homel & Clark, 1994;Homel, Hauritz, Wortley, Mcilwain, & Carvolth, 1997;Lang, Stockwell, Rydon, & Lockwood, 1995;Stockwell, Somerford, & Lang, 1992;Teece & Williams, 2000). In addition, a household survey revealed that 74% of respondents who had experienced an incident related to an argument, fight, or injury had been drinking in a licensed venue either at the time of the incident or just prior to the incident (Stockwell, Lang, & Rydon, 1993).…”

“…It has also been demonstrated that a substantial amount of violence among patrons in the most problematic licensed premises occur more often in specific places such as corridors, serving bars, dance areas, near exits, and outside in the parking lots or on the side walk (Burns, 1980;Graham & Wells, 2001;Homel et al, 1991;Lang et al, 1995;Marsh & Kibby, 1992;Tomsen, 1997). Such violence often involves males under 25 years of age, and appears to be triggered by a number of factors including conflict with staff, violating bar rules, offensive behaviour, and conflict over interpersonal relationships Graves, Graves, Semu, & Sam, 1981).…”

This paper reports on the impact of a lockout policy on levels of alcohol-related offences in and around licensed premises. The lockout policy prevents patrons from entering or re-entering late night trading licensed premises for a specific period prior to closure. A modified police activity log was utilised by all first response operational police to record their attendance at incidents in and around licensed premises. Chi-square analyses of the prevalence of incidents before and after implementation of the lockout policy demonstrated that the number of alcohol-related offences requiring police attention was significantly proportionally lower following the liquor trading changes. Alcohol-related offences, particularly those related to disturbances and sexual offences were significantly reduced following the introduction of the lockout policy. However, while offences related to property, stealing, and assault experienced a reduced trend, these did not reach significance. In contrast, traffic offence rates were unchanged. The findings of the study provide supportive evidence that lockout initiatives have potential as a major crime prevention technique to reduce specific types of alcohol-related offences.

“…Observational studies are often limited by a lack of control over individual difference variables that are linked to both consumption and potential for aggression. These include impulsivity and antisocial personality [Haines and Graham, 2005], preferences for high-risk drinking contexts, such as poorly run nightclubs and bars and high-risk districts [Bushman, 1997;Lang et al, 1995], peer choice and membership of violent subcultures [Hunt and Laidler, 2001]. These shortcomings also apply to studies that show temporal and geographical correspondences between alcohol use and violent crime [Gruenewald and Remer, 2006].…”

Predictors of injurious assault committed during or after drinking alcohol: a case–control study of young offenders

Aggressive Behavior

Studies of causal links between alcohol and aggression are often handicapped by threats to internal and external validity. Case-control methods employ an event-level analysis that can reduce some of these validity threats by the use of within-subject controls. This study used a case-control approach, asking 39 male inmates in a Young Offenders' Institution to compare drinking behaviour before incidents where they reported commission of an injurious assault and a matched incident where they did not. After controlling contextual differences, participants reported personally drinking more heavily and heavier drinking within their group, but not being more impaired when an assault was committed. The assault incidents were more likely to involve spontaneous, rather than planned, drinking and a higher proportion of males in the group. They were less likely to involve drinking in a pub. Our confirmation of previous findings using a case-control methodology strengthens those findings. Limitations of this methodology are also discussed.
