Preferred term

barroom violence  

Definition

  • The relationship between alcohol use and violence has been described in a large number of studies in diverse countries. Several studies of homicide, assault, and rape have consistently found alcohol to be involved in one-half to two-thirds of homicides, in one-fourth to nearly one-half of serious assaults, and in more that one-fourth of rapes (Martin 1992).
