“…Noting that over half of all violent crime has been identified as alcohol-related (Flatley 2016), alcohol consumption is the main activity that takes place in the NTE (Hadfield et al 2009). The social environment of the NTE induces cumulative alcohol consumption, maintaining or increasing an individual's level of intoxication over the duration of an evening (Bellis et al 2010;Moore et al 2007).…”

The daily rhythms of the city, the ebb and flow of people undertaking routines activities, inform the spatial and temporal patterning of crime. Being able to capture citizen mobility and delineate a crime-specific population denominator is a vital prerequisite of the endeavour to both explain and address crime. This paper introduces the concept of an exposed population-at-risk, defined as the mix of residents and non-residents who may play an active role as an offender, victim or guardian in a specific crime type, present in a spatial unit at a given time. This definition is deployed to determine the exposed population-at-risk for violent crime, associated with the night-time economy, in public spaces. Through integrating census data with mobile phone data and utilising fine-grained temporal and spatial violent crime data, the paper demonstrates the value of deploying an exposed (over an ambient) population-at-risk denominator to determine violent crime in public space hotspots on Saturday nights in Greater Manchester (UK). In doing so, the paper illuminates that as violent crime in public space rises, over the course of a Saturday evening, the exposed population-at-risk falls, implying a shifting propensity of the exposed population-at-risk to perform active roles as offenders, victims and/or guardians. The paper concludes with a discussion of the theoretical and policy relevance of these findings.

“…Over a decade ago, Jayne, Holloway, and Valentine (2006) The tensions between young people's freedom and their safety has been extensively negotiated in academic debates (Valentine 1996). Scholars have discussed a range of factors, such as regulation and deregulation practices (Demant and Landolt 2014;Hadfield, Lister, and Traynor 2009), parental and peer control (Holdsworth, Laverty, and Robinson 2017), and religious constraints (Valentine, Holloway, and Jayne 2010), which are thought to shape young people's use of urban night spaces for drinking. This paper pursued a further aspect: As Thompson and Cupples (2008, 96) phrase it, one's digital network is 'ever present symbolically in the mobile phone'.…”

Collapsing contexts: social networking technologies in young people’s nightlife

Children's Geographies

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the latest discussions of children and young people's new geographies of leisure and pleasure, one controversial issue has been how digital technologies co-produce and reconfigure young people's everyday worlds. This article draws on semi-structured interviews with 40 young people who regularly use social networking technologies in their nightlife experiences in Zurich and Lausanne, two nightlife hubs in Switzerland. Informed by Danah Boyd's concepts of 'collapsing contexts' and 'imagined audiences', this article enables a critical engagement with young people's emerging understanding of their nightlife contexts, which are increasingly permeated by networking technologies. I show how social networking spaces facilitate the coming together, or collapse, of various social contexts which induce young people to imagine multiple audiences, including authority figures, in their nightlife practices. These collapsing contexts and imagined audiences, I argue, present new perspectives on debates about control and surveillance in young people's contemporary urban nightlife.

“…The close attention paid by policy makers to the night time economy in the United Kingdom (UK) [ 1 ] reflects the rising numbers of city-centre licensed premises [ 2 ], the increasing levels of concern about violence in such premises [ 3 ], and the emergence of a culture shared with many other countries where excessive alcohol consumption and alcohol-related disorder are tolerated [ 4 ]. Alcohol-related harm is now estimated to cost the UK in excess of £21 billion a year [ 5 ].…”

Process evaluation of an environmental health risk audit and action plan intervention to reduce alcohol related violence in licensed premises

et al. 2016

BackgroundAlcohol-related violence is associated with licensed premise environments and their management. There is a lack of evidence for effective interventions to address these, and there are significant barriers to implementation. This study aims to understand how development and implementation processes can facilitate intervention reach, fidelity and receipt and therefore provides key process data necessary to interpret the results of the randomised controlled trial conducted in parallel.MethodsA process evaluation, embedded within a randomised controlled trial. Intervention development and implementation were assessed via focus groups (n = 2) and semi-structured interviews (n = 22) with Environmental Health Practitioners (EHPs). Reach and fidelity were assessed via routinely collected intervention data, which was was collected from 276 licenced premises across Wales, UK. Case study semi-structured interviews with licensed premises proprietors (n = 30) explored intervention receipt.ResultsIntervention co-production with senior EHPs facilitated organisational adoption and implementation. Training events for EHPs played an important role in addressing wider organisational concerns regarding partnership working and the contextual integration of the intervention. EHPs delivered the intervention to 98 % of intervention premises; 35 % of premises should have received a follow up enforcement visit, however EHP confidence in dealing with alcohol risk factors meant only 7 % of premises received one. Premises therefore received a similar intervention dose regardless of baseline risk. Intervention receipt appeared to be greatest in premises with an existing commitment to prevention and those in urban environments.ConclusionsThe study suggests that a collaborative approach to the development and diffusion of interventions is associated with high levels of organisational adoption, implementation and reach. However, the lack of enforcement visits represents implementation failure for a key mechanism of action that is likely to influence intervention effectiveness. To be effective, any future intervention may require a longer implementation period to develop EHP confidence in using enforcement approaches in this area and multiagency enforcement support, which includes the police, to deliver an adequate intervention dose.
