"This can be found in the autobiographies of many reformedcharacters from the field. The perspectives in this collection do,however, provide progressive insights into a pragmatic way forwardfor those battling away in their professional lives against theharm involved in alcohol-related violence." (TheHoward Journal of Criminal Justice, 5 June 2014) "This is a useful and instructive book, with all theinformation laid out in an accessible way. Its practical andversatile nature means it will 'hit the spot' for adiverse range of readers - policymakers, health andsocial-care commissioners, researchers and students of alcoholstudies, and practitioners in this field, especially those workingwith offenders in prison and elsewhere within the criminal justicesystem." (DrugLink, 1 July 2013) "The book's key strength is in the breadth ofapproaches presented, and it represents a strong step towards amore integrated approach to studying and reducing alcohol-relatedviolence." (Addiction, 4 June 2013) The strong association between alcohol consumption and violenceis undeniable but complex and a large scientific literature hasattempted to clarify the relationship between them. Thiscomprehensive text goes farther than any I have seen inilluminating the nature of the link and exploring implications forthe treatment and prevention of alcohol-related violence.
