Institute for Security Studies calls for strict alcohol regulations to tackle violent crime via TheCitizen_News
The Institute for Security Studies has called for targeted strategies, including stringent alcohol regulation, to tackle the scourge of violent crime, and suggested professional help for those arrested for being violent when drunk.
Gareth Newham, ISS head of governance, crime and justice division, said crime and alcohol were linked internationally but alcohol was not the only factor. “There are various interventions and ways to address this and we have a long way to go…It is about greater regulation of alcohol, so it is about regulating those places, at those times. It is about adjusting strategies and ensuring those people arrested for violent behaviour when they are drunk, get the help they need,” Newham said.
“If alcohol intoxication is contributing to these crimes, it must be addressed with urgency,” Ramaphosa said.
