<p>Since 2009/10, the annual number of alcohol-related violent incidents has significantly
declined – it is now down by 44%. We have seen declines in the number of Penalty Notices
for Disorder issued for being drunk and disorder-ly, and fewer adults perceive people
being drunk or rowdy in their area as a problem than ten years ago.</p><p>We continue
to take action to improve local intelligence, establish effective local partnerships
and equip police and local authorities with the right powers to take effective action
against alcohol-related crime and harms in the night time economy. Current action
to tackle alcohol-related harms includes building on our Local Alcohol Action Area
programme, considering how to tackle drunk and disorderly passengers at airports,
and identifying new work to address alcohol related domestic abuse and sexual violence.</p>
