The report is designed to encourage researchers and policymakers to consider new approaches to examining and addressing the relationship between alcohol and violence among young people in the night-time economy (NTE). It draws attention to the urgent need for future research and policy to address the key role of gender – particularly the complex relationship between specific masculinities, alcohol and violence – in the production of harm. The study findings suggest that more direct engagement with gender, and particularly masculinities, should be central to future research and to recommendations informing contemporary alcohol policy debate, and the report proposes ways in which such an engagement might be supported.
