It looks specifically at the effects on crime-related outcomes. The REA covers primary studies examining a direct association between alcohol pricing/taxation and crime–related outcomes (4,975 studies were reviewed and 36 papers met the inclusion criteria); review-level evidence for associations between pricing and consumption and between consumption and crime (58 reviews or meta-analyses); new primary research examining the association between pricing and consumption. The latter two areas provided an update to the recent review by Booth et al. (2008). This report examines the first of the three areas, and attempts to answer the following research question: To what extent does the research evidence support a direct association between the price of alcohol and crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour? An REA is a tool in the systematic review methods family and is based on comprehensive electronic searches of appropriate databases, internet sources and follow-up of cited references. To complete REAs in a short timeframe, researchers make some concessions in comparison with a full systematic review. Exhaustive hand searching of journals and textbooks is not undertaken, and searching of ‘grey’ literature is necessarily curtailed. This shortened timeframe is essential for policy makers to meet deadlines, but increases the risk of publication bias.
