bars and pubs  

Definition

  • Bars and pubs are locations known for problem behavior, including violence and aggression, which in many cases makes them ignition points for street crime in their immediate vicinity. Those who study barroom aggression contend that social contexts within bars and pubs have a direct effect on the behaviors of individuals who frequent these establishments.
