Title: The Nature of Assaults Recorded on Licensed Premises

Summary: Nearly ten percent of assaults recorded by police in NSW occur on licensed premises. This paper considers where these incidents occur in relation to the licensed premises and who is involved. In a sample of 352 assault incidents recorded by police in 2007/08, we found 76 percent occurred on the licensed premise; either inside a building on the premises (57%) or on an outdoor location within the grounds of the premises such as in the beer garden or carpark (19%). Another 21 percent of incidents were indirectly linked to the premises; occurring near the premise (such as on the footpath) and involving either premises staff, patrons or people refused entry. Three percent of assaults recorded as occurring on licensed premises could not be clearly connected to the premises. Patrons committed the majority of assaults (57%) followed by evicted patrons (15%), security and other staff (12%) and people refused entry to the premises (5%). Most victims were also patrons (62%) followed by security guards and other staff (22%), evicted patrons (6%) and police (5%).
