fewer crimes if sent by criminal justice programmes which had credible sanctions and ensured
offenders understand these and knew they were being monitored.

FEEDBACK TO POLICE AND LICENSEES HELPS CUT ALCOHOL-RELATED CRIME

associated with crime and disorder. After a trial showed it was feasible and reduced alcohol-related
incidents, the system was implemented across New South Wales.

SCHOOL-BASED PREVENTION BEST DONE BY TEACHERS NOT OUTSIDE SPECIALISTS

to test whether substance use prevention is best done by outside specialists or the teachers already
in the school; despite needing less training, the teachers won out.
