Violent crime redistribution in a city following a substantial increase in the number of off ‐sale alcohol outlets: A Bayesian analysis

ConclusionsWhile these analyses confirmed a previous time‐series analysis in finding no city‐wide effect of the increase in off‐premise outlets, they do suggest that such outlets in a local area may be related to violence in nearby geographic areas. They indicate the importance of examining neighbourhood‐specific effects of alcohol outlets on violence in addition to the city‐wide effects. They also present further evidence supporting the need to examine the differential effects of on‐sale and off‐sale premises.
