This Information Paper outlines a method of assessing the management of town centres at night. It introduces a tool that has been developed by BRE to provide a comprehensive coverage of all the issues involved in alcohol-related violence and disorder. The Paper summarises the categories contained in the toolkit and explains how they can be used by stakeholders in their decision-making processes to reduce crime and disorder in the night-time economy.
