Alcohol » National Strategy
In March 2004 the government published its National alcohol harm reduction strategy (AHRSE). The strategy sets out four key ways to tackle alcohol related crime:
- Improved and better targeting, education and communication
- Better identification and treatment of alcohol problems
- Better co-ordination and enforcement of existing powers against crime and disorder
- Encouraging the industry to continue promoting responsible drinking and to continue to take a role in reducing alcohol-related harm.
The government sees Drug & Alcohol Action Teams/ Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships (including representation from the local Primary Care Trust) as the key strategic group to implement the four areas.
