Alcohol and crime have a closely interconnected relationship, with alcohol consumption being a contributing factor to crime and antisocial behaviour. Alcohol plays a key role in crimes such as public order offences, domestic violence, assault and murder, as well as rape and sexual assault.[1] It is not always possible to tell the exact number of crimes caused due to alcohol use, but studies have estimated that between 30% and 65% of assaults, disorderly conduct, public order, and other social code incidents are associated with alcohol-use.[2]
