Title: Prevention of Murders in Diadema, Brazil: The Influence of New Alcohol Policies
Summary: In July, 2002, Diadema adopted a new municipal code requiring that all alcohol retailers in the City of Diadema cease alcohol sales at 11:00 pm. City records suggested that the adoption and enforcement of this new alcohol policy was preventing assaults against women and murders in Diadema. This research protocol evaluates the outcomes of the new alcohol policy by addressing two questions: 1) Does the new alcohol policy prevent murders in Diadema? 2) Does the new alcohol policy prevent assaults against women in Diadema? The study concluded that since January 2000 there has been a steady improvement in public safety and Diadema has become a safer city. The reductions in murder and in assaults against women began before the adoption of the new alcohol policy in July 2002, and these reductions accelerated after the new policy was implemented.
