This research examines the relationship between alcohol outlets and social harm measured by Police activity and road traffic crashes. The analysis uses a longitudinal panel data set for the period 2007-2014 covering all of New Zealand.

Purpose

 This research project was commissioned by the Health Promotion Agency (HPA) and has three overall objectives:

1. To investigate the impacts of alcohol outlet density on police activity at the local (Census Area Unit) level across New Zealand;

2. To evaluate how these impacts have changed between the period before passing of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 (SSAA) on 18 December 2012, and after; and

3. To evaluate the direct and mediating effects of local alcohol policies (LAPs) on the relationships between alcohol outlet density and police activity.
