Alcohol and Crime

This book seeks to understand the nature of the connection between alcohol and crime, and the way the criminal justice system responds to the problem, providing a clear and accessible account and analysis of the subject. It draws upon a wide range of sources and research findings, and also sets the subject within a broader comparative context by adopting an interdisciplinary approach which includes a sociological account of the role of alcohol in British society, and a criminological analysis of the link between alcohol and crime.
