News New IAS research on off-trade alcohol availability and violence A new study by the Institute of Alcohol Studies (IAS) shows that home drinking is a major contributor to alcohol-related violence. The study analyses police-recorded violent crime data from during the COVID-19 pandemic when access to on-trade premises like pubs and restaurants was closed, and found that this did not lead to major changes in the levels of alcohol-related violence. The findings suggest attempts to address alcohol-related violence cannot solely consider on-trade settings – especially those interventions targeting alcohol-related domestic violence. Find out more and download the research on the IAS website. State of the Family Support Sector 2023 Adfam has launched a new research report, State of the Family Support Sector 2023, which examines current circumstances and practice in supporting families affected by substance use.
