With authorities often stretched to manage intoxication and related problems in busy drinking environments, understanding which interventions can have most effects on reducing alcohol-related harm is critical. This report provides the findings from a systematic literature review that aimed to explore the effects of interventions implemented in drinking environments on a range of harms, including alcohol consumption, under-age alcohol sales, violence and road traffic crashes. The review was based on a literature search of 10 databases including Medline, PsycINFO, ASSIA and other sources. Two reviewers independently assessed studies for inclusion against the following criteria: published since 1990, and examined an intervention with the aim of reducing harm associated with alcohol consumption, which was delivered in a drinking environment and targeted individuals, licensed alcohol serving outlets, or the sale and supply of alcohol via the off trade. Intervention studies of any design were eligible for inclusion. The literature search identified 47 studies that examined interventions designed to reduce harm in drinking environments. Seven studies examined the effectiveness of training programmes for servers and managers, five examined specific interventions delivered in pubs and bars, eight examined the enforcement of laws related to alcohol consumption, seven examined interventions aimed at reducing underage sales and 20 examined multi-component community-based programmes. Nine of the included studies were conducted in European countries including five in Sweden and four in the UK. The remaining studies were conducted in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The methodological quality of the included studies was variable according to the study design used, and in general the methodological quality of the included studies was weak. The clearest indication of effectiveness resulted from multi-component programmes. In particular, across three well-designed and implemented programmes, which combined community mobilisation, RBS training, house policies and stricter enforcement of licensing laws, there was evidence that these programmes were effective in reducing assaults, traffic crashes, and underage sales. In particular, the Swedish STAD project, a multi-agency partnership between the police, licensing authorities, health services, the council and representatives of licensed premises, demonstrated success was based on a rigorous evaluation of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness. The effectiveness of other intervention approaches was limited. Studies of server and bar management training programmes highlighted an overall low frequency of intervention and their effects on patrons’ alcohol consumption appeared to be minimal, except where training was mandated. A training and risk management programme had a modest effect on aggression. Patron targeted interventions, which included brief intervention and promotion of responsible drinking, had a limited impact on patron behaviours. Police campaigns and other approaches to the enforcement of alcohol sales laws were shown to be largely ineffective or short lived. The effectiveness of police intervention or increased enforcement of licensing laws in reducing alcohol-related incidents was not clear, but overall, targeted police intervention in high-risk premises appeared to be a more effective strategy than ‘low level’ policing. There is growing evidence that effective delivery of multi-component programmes in drinking environments can reduce alcohol-related harm, however, further research is required to assess the transferability of evidence about multi-component programmes in drinking environments to other settings.

Author: Buettner, Cynthia K. Title: Parties, Police, and Pandimonium: An Exploratory Study of Mixed-Issue Campus Disturbances Summary: This dissertation explores mixed-issue campus disturbances (celebratory riots), which are defined as a public conflict between aggregates of participants (mostly students) and authorities (usually the police) that did not begin as an issue-based protest gathering. These disturbances have increased in number and intensity over the past two decades, and the severity of the problem, in danger to students and public safety personnel as well as in financial costs, has prompted a variety of untested actions by universities and communities. In an effort to develop a comprehensive description and a conceptual framework for further research, this mixed-method study combined a qualitative examination of student and public accounts of the disturbance that occurred after the 2002 Ohio State University/University of Michigan football game with data obtained through two quantitative surveys; one of administrators representing 31 universities and one of OSU students experiences with off-campus parties. Despite underage drinking laws that prohibit young adults from drinking until age 21, students report, “drinking is the major glue that bonds students.” Student parties (typically in student off-campus housing neighborhoods) provide a place for students to drink with friends (over 70% reported attending an off-campus party at least once a month). Large gatherings of students at parties appear to attract “entrepreneurs,” people (many of whom are not students at the university) intent on precipitating and participating in anti-social (car tipping, arson, etc.) behavior. As police take action to break up the parties before trouble begins or to apprehend the “entrepreneurs,” they often invoke negative responses from the partiers. Bystanders inadvertently affected by large-scale police tactics against partygoers and/or entrepreneurs, often join in the confrontation with the police in response to feeling unjustly harmed. Analysis of student comments indicates that for 18-21 year olds, an underlying issue is the minimum drinking age and police and university tactics used to enforce it. This suggests further research into police training and response to gatherings of students is needed. The prevention efforts employed by universities also require additional thought and research, as student comments suggest that most of the efforts currently in practice are likely to fail.

Author: Crowe, Ann H. Title: Underage Drinking: Intervention Principles and Practice Guidelines for Community Correction Summary: For more than two decades, the people of the United States have benefited from a uniform minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) of 21. This has been one of the most successful public health regulations ever implemented (Voas, 2006). Many thousands of lives have been saved and tragedies averted. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the MLDA law has saved almost 24,000 lives in traffic crashes alone since 1975, when states began raising the drinking age. This figure does not include the many thousands of other types of injury and death that can result from alcohol use and that have been prevented since the law was changed (Jones, Pieper, & Robertson, 1992). These laws are highly effective, but they do require continued commitment and effort for enforcement. Underage drinking is both a public safety and a public health challenge in the United States. More notably, however, as is brought forth in the Surgeon General’s Call to Action To Prevent and Reduce Underage Drinking (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2007), underage drinking is an issue that our society continues to grapple with and work to overcome for the betterment of our nation’s youth. Many of the strategies to reduce underage drinking have focused on decreasing the availability of alcohol to underage drinkers, reducing opportunities and occasions for underage drinking, and diminishing the demand for alcohol among youth. These strategies have proved to be successful, but young people do continue to engage in illegal alcohol consumption and to be exposed to the many risks it entails. A thoughtful and comprehensive approach to dealing with underage drinkers is clearly needed. Only in recent years has our society begun to truly grapple with this issue, particularly at the federal level. One of the most prominent agencies within the federal government that has taken action to address underage drinking is the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). Since its inception in 1974, OJJDP has supported local and state efforts to prevent delinquency and improve the juvenile justice system. In 1998, Congress gave OJJDP the authority to administer the Enforcement of Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL) program. The EUDL program supports and enhances efforts by states and local jurisdictions to reduce the availability of alcohol to minors and to prevent underage drinking by minors. Close partnerships between law enforcement agencies and communitybased groups involved in preventing and intervening in underage drinking are strongly encouraged by the program. As the only federal program devoted exclusively to preventing alcohol consumption by minors, OJJDP offers states and local jurisdictions funding, comprehensive training, and technical assistance to guide them in their efforts (see OJJDP, 2009). The community corrections field, specifically probation and diversion, performs an important role in the EUDL program in both prevention and intervention when dealing with underage drinking offenders.1 Community corrections professionals can work closely with judges, attorneys, and other justice professionals to handle each underage drinking case in the most effective and appropriate fashion. Community corrections professionals can also work with community-based groups in efforts to prevent underage drinking through community-wide initiatives that reach both parents and youth. Appendix A provides some examples of local and state EUDL coalitions in which community corrections agencies have partnered.

Author: Carpenter, Christopher Title: The Drinking Age, Alcohol Consumption, and Crime Summary: We use exogenous variation in alcohol consumption induced by the Minimum Legal Drinking Age to estimate the causal effect of alcohol consumption on crime. Individuals just over age 21 are 31 percent more likely to report having recently consumed alcohol and report drinking on 57 percent more days than individuals just under 21. This increase in alcohol consumption results in a 6 percent increase in arrests mostly due to robberies, assaults, alcohol-related offenses, and nuisance crimes. The results imply an elasticity of about .10, which suggests that policies that affect the alcohol consumption of young adults can substantially affect crime.

Author: Bellis, Mark A. Title: Changes in Young People’s Alcohol Consumption and Related Violence, Sex and Memory Loss: 2009 – 2011 North West of England Summary: In 2009, the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) launched guidance to address alcohol-related harms in children and young people (those under 18 years of age). These recommended that an alcohol free childhood is the most desirable option. However, if this cannot be achieved, onset of drinking should be delayed for as long as possible (at least until 15 years of age). Further, that if 15-17 year olds do drink, they should do so only under the supervision of a parent/carer, should not drink more than once a week, and should not exceed the maximum daily units for adults (females: 2-3 units; males: 3-4 units). Since the CMO guidance was published, a number of initiatives and interventions have been launched to complement existing measures to tackle underage drinking and raise awareness of the harms caused by alcohol. This report investigates whether any change has been observed in risky drinking behaviour since the guidance was implemented. It compares data from the 2009 and 2011 Trading Standards surveys of 15-16 year olds in the North West of England.

Author: London. Assembly. Health and Public Services Committee Title: Too Much Too Young? Alcohol Misuse Among Young Londoners Summary: Alcohol misuse by young people is a serious concern. Eleven to fifteen year olds in London now drink the equivalent of 180,000 bottles of lager a week, and the amount they drink is increasing. In particular, young women aged 11-15 drink significantly larger quantities of alcohol than they were a few years ago, and they now have drinking habits similar to those of their male peers. However, young women tend to have a lower tolerance for alcohol than young men, which explains why hospital admission rates for 11-15 year old women are almost double those for young men of the same age. Young people from Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities are more likely to drink than they were a few years ago. Although young Londoners from these communities are still less likely to drink than young people from other groups, the Committee is concerned that these recent increases could be the start of an ongoing trend. Young people’s drinking is putting increasing pressure on health services. The number of hospital admissions for young Londoners almost doubled between 2002 and 20063. In 2007-08 the London Ambulance Service NHS Trust dealt with 8,126 alcohol-related calls for 11-21 year olds, which is a 27 per cent increase on 2004-05. The cost of responding to these calls in 2007-08 was around £1.3 million. Despite the growing problem of young people’s alcohol misuse and its increasing impacts on public services, a lack of senior leadership both locally and regionally means that efforts to reduce alcohol harm are not always effectively prioritised or coordinated. The Committee therefore believes that the Mayor and local leaders need to focus more effort on tackling alcohol misuse. Details: London: Greater London Authority, 2009. 53p.

Author: Hanes, Melodee Title: Community Supervision of Underage Drinkers Summary: Underage drinking is a widespread offense that can have serious physical, neurological, and legal consequences. Problematically, it has become quite commonplace. The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) works to eliminate underage consumption of alcohol and provide guidance for communities developing prevention and treatment programs. OJJDP created the underage drinking bulletin series to educate practitioners and policymakers about the problems youth face when they abuse alcohol and to provide evidence-based guidelines. The series presents findings from a study on preventing underage drinking in the Air Force as well as a literature review of the effects and consequences of underage drinking, best practices for community supervision of underage drinkers and legal issues surrounding underage drinking, and practice guidelines for working with underage drinkers. The series highlights the dangers of underage drinking. Hopefully, the information it provides will support communities in their efforts to reduce alcohol use by minors through the use of evidence based strategies and practices. In this bulletin, the authors provide a theoretical overview upon which to base policies, procedures, and practices that will help professionals—and their corresponding agencies—effectively supervise underage drinkers in the community. They also discuss the legal issues that professionals may encounter when working with these youth.

Author: Alcohol Concern Title: One on every corner: The relationship between off-licence density and alcohol harms in young people Summary: England is a country that increasingly chooses to drink at home. This is due, at least in part, to the difference in price between alcohol bought from on and off-licensed premises. Over the past 30 years there has been more than a 25% increase in the number of off-licensed premises, such as convenience stores and supermarkets that sell alcohol for consumption elsewhere. Off-licensed sales are the predominant direct and indirect source of access to alcohol for young people under-18- years-old and growing international evidence links off-licence density with various negative alcohol-related consequences. Alcohol Concern's Youth Policy project commissioned Dr Nikki Coghill, Senior Research Fellow at the University of the West of England, to conduct some statistical analysis into the density of off-licensed premises and alcohol harms in young people in selected areas of England. As far as we are aware, this is the first study of its kind in this country to focus on the links between off-licence density and harms in under-18s. The analysis uncovered a moderate but statistically significant relationship between the density of off-licensed premises and alcohol specific hospital admissions in young people under-18- years-old per 100,000 of population. Our findings suggest that the greater the availability of alcohol, the greater the risk of young people suffering alcohol harm. Therefore, the changing nature of where we buy and consume alcohol may have an impact on the risk of harms to young people. Limitations in the recording of alcohol-related conditions in hospitals and A&E departments means that the results from this study are likely to be an under-representation of the true picture of harms impacting on young people. Effective harm prevention therefore not only requires targeting education, information and support at an individual level among young people, but control of the concentration of alcohol outlets at a community level.

Author: Jones, Sandra C. Title: Why don't friends and relatives of underage drinkers comply with secondary supply laws in NSW? Summary: The Australian Guidelines to Reduce Health Risks from Drinking Alcohol recommend that "for children and young people under 18 years of age, not drinking alcohol is the safest option". However, in Australia the majority of children have tried alcohol by the age of 12 and there is a perception among many adolescents and adults that underage drinking is a normative behaviour. Research shows that, in addition to the strong influence of perceived peer norms, adult approval and acceptance of alcohol use is highly correlated with underage drinking behavior. In Australia, almost 60 per cent of alcohol consumed by 12-17 year olds is supplied by friends, relatives or strangers (with much of the remainder provided by parents). The provision of alcohol to people under the age of 18 by someone other than their parent or guardian, or another adult with the express consent of their parent or guardian, is illegal in most (but not all) Australian jurisdictions. There is a substantial body of research into the reasons why people do (and do not) comply with the law, particularly in the context of driving offences and crimes against property (such as vandalism, theft and littering). The main obedience variables identified as predictors of compliance are Personal Morality, Deterrence, Perceived Legitimacy, Social Norms and Procedural Fairness. The study presented in this report sought to explore why Australian adults continue to provide alcohol to adolescents despite being aware that this behavior is illegal. Given the substantial body of literature exploring reasons for compliance with traffic laws, we also sought to explore similarities and differences in perceptions of secondary supply, speeding, and drink driving offences.

Author: ICF Title: Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws Field-Initiated Research and Evaluation (FIRE) Program, Identifying Effective Environmental Strategies: Final Technical Report Summary: Underage drinking is a persistent threat to the health and well-being of young people and has substantial costs for society. These costs are evident in research examining the deleterious effects of alcohol in the college population, and in adolescents 12 to 17 years of age. Based on evidence that environmental strategies to reduce underage drinking and associated alcoholrelated misconducts are effective, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) supported this approach by providing block grants to all States and the District of Columbia to operate the Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL) program. Throughout the EUDL program (1998 to 2012), OJJDP amassed a wealth of data as grantees submitted information on their activities. However, while some of the EUDL discretionary grant programs have been evaluated (see Spera et al., 2010; 2011; Wolfson et al., 2011), including one study that used a randomized controlled trial approach (Wake Forest University School of Medicine 2011), there has not been a systematic evaluation of the impact the States have had in using their EUDL block grant funds to reduce underage drinking and associated misconducts. ICF was awarded a grant in 2012 to conduct an evaluation of the EUDL program. The grantee-level information provided the independent variables for the analyses, the dependent variables or outcome measures came from a number of external data sources. Two data sources were selected because they offer data at the granular geographic level required for this analysis: 1) the Campus Safety and Security Survey (CSSS), which contains information from institutes of higher education on liquor law violations on their campuses and in the surrounding areas, and 2) the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), which provides data on automobile crashes, including if the crash was alcohol-related, as well as vehicle and driver characteristics. The covariates used for the analysis include demographic data from the American Community Survey (ACS). We consistently found that areas with more active coalitions and those with multiple strategies were associated with more campus incidents. Whereas this is opposite our hypothesis, we speculate that areas with more active coalitions may have raised awareness and increased patrols, which led to higher incident reporting. Campus related incidents were significantly lower in areas where educational activities were the focus of grantees' efforts, even controlling for demographics. This is a positive, if unexpected finding as we hypothesized that education alone would have little impact. Traffic fatalities involving minors and alcohol were significantly lower for those grantees that built coalitions with law enforcement organizations. Our ongoing research will expand our analyses by developing multilevel models which include statelevel variables, such as policies and laws related to underage drinking based on our coding of policy data obtained from the Alcohol Policy Information System.

Author: Murray, Kath Title: The Need for a New Power to Search Children for Alcohol: A review of the evidence Summary: The aim of this report is to inform the Scottish Government consultation on the proposal to introduce a statutory power to search young people under the age of 18 for alcohol. The report provides data and analysis on underage drinking trends in Scotland, and on how police officers use their powers of stop and search, and seizure in relation to underage drinking. The analysis suggests that current intelligence-based approaches to stop and search are not particularly effective in detecting alcohol amongst young people, compared to older age groups, and to other approaches for dealing with alcohol possession. Between June and December 2015, the number of positive alcohol searches involving young people aged seventeen or under equated to less than one a day, whilst the vast majority of underage alcohol detections result from existing powers of seizure, rather than stop and search. In practice, officers conduct few alcohol searches involving young people. In September 2015, six Divisions did not carry out any alcohol stop searches on young people aged seventeen or under, whilst four Divisions carried out less than five. The use of seizure powers has also fallen. Taken together, these trends do not appear to suggest a legislative shortfall and in this respect, we question how much a statutory power of search would add to existing seizure powers, which already account for more than nine in ten underage alcohol detections. We also caution there is a risk that an additional search power for alcohol could aggravate relationships between young people and the police, particularly in areas where policecommunity relationships are frayed by dint of excessive use of stop and search in recent years (Blake Stevenson, 2016;1 Murray, 2016).2 There are, we would suggest, more constructive ways of tackling underage drinking problems. It is encouraging that around two-thirds (69%) of young people stated that they agreed or strongly agreed that their school provided relevant advice and support in relation to alcohol (SALSUS, 2013); the challenge of course is to reach those who did not. Given that young people are most likely to access alcohol from parents and carers, we would also recommend that educational initiatives are directed towards responsible adults. There is a disparity between the overall distribution of underage drinking across Scotland, and rates of excessive drinking, which are higher in the west, and as such, warrant more targeted interventions, including those directed towards off sales. For example, in Durham Constabulary, alcohol confiscated from a young person is traced back to the retailer (using batch/lot codes), and the sale investigated using CCTV, with a view to prosecution. Finally, carefully targeted police presence, in itself, can also reduce crime and disorder without the risks police-public relationships that adversarial police contact carries (Ariel et al., 2016).
