	Evans K, Grant M, Martinic M & Robson G (Eds) (2007) The ICAP Blue Book: Practical Guides for Alcohol Policy and Prevention Approaches. Washington DC: International Center for Alcohol Policies (ICAP). The ‘ICAP Blue Book’ is a comprehensive guide to developing “balanced alcohol policies and prevention measures” which involve a range of partners and stakeholders – “each with a role to play and with particular rights and responsibilities”. The Blue Book consists of chapters on over 20 topics - including responsible hospitality, high risk populations, drinking and pregnancy, and non-commercial alcohol - all of which are free to download using the link below. ICAP is a not-for-profit alcohol policy ‘think tank’ funded by leading producers of beverage alcohol. To accompany the Blue Book, an Alcohol Policy Seminar has been developed by IHRA, Quest 4 Quality and ICAP.

	Ministerial Council on Drug Strategy (2006) National Alcohol Strategy 2006 – 2009: Towards Safer Drinking Cultures. Australia: Commonwealth of Australia. This document, from Australia, is “a plan for action developed through collaboration between Australian governments, non-government and industry partners and the broader community”. This strategy focuses on four aims – to reduce the incidence of intoxication, enhance public safety, improve health outcomes for drinkers, and create “safer and healthier drinking cultures” in a country in which overall alcohol consumption has fallen since the 1980s.

	BRE Trust (2008) Safe and Secure Town Centres at Night Toolkit. Watford (England), Building Research Establishment Ltd. The BRE Trust – a registered charity focussing on all matters concerning the built environment for public benefit - launched this tool in 2008 in order to help local groups and authorities to assess their current situation and to develop strategies to counter alcohol-related harms in town centres. Based on the principles of appropriate design and use of the built environment, the tool can be used to reduce and prevent violence and disorder in urban centres at night. The toolkit is aimed at managers of the night-time economy and includes a survey examining the physical features of the drinking environment, a management evaluation, a comparison against examples of good practice in the night-time economy, and detailed recommendations to help reduce harm.

	Doherty SJ & Roche AM (2003) Alcohol and Licensed Premises: Best Practice in Policing – A monograph for police and policy makers. South Australia: Australasian Centre for Policing Research. Across the world, law enforcement agencies dedicate a considerable proportion of their time dealing with alcohol-related disorder and offences. This report aims to highlight international best practice and innovations for police to reduce alcohol-related harms associated with licensed premises. It outlines the key research and relevant legislative tools that are available to police forces.
	Hauritz M, Homel R, McIlwain G, Burrows T & Townsley M (1998) Reducing Violence in Licensed Venues Through Community Safety Action Projects: The Queensland Experience. Contemporary Drug Problems, 25 (3), pages 511 - 551. This document evaluates the implementation of “community-based safety action projects” – implemented in Australia in the 1990s based on the pioneering Surfers Paradise approach. The projects were local initiatives to mobilise communities and enable discussions with the alcohol industry and drinking venues, and included several harm reduction interventions such as risk assessments of individual bars (see section 8 of this collection). Observational research showed declines in aggressive incidents and drunkenness in licensed venues, and improvements in host responsibility.

	HM Government (2008) Safe Sensible Social: Alcohol Strategy Local Implementation Toolkit. London, Cabinet Office. In 2007, the UK Government launched a new alcohol strategy - entitled ‘Safe.

This document is a step-by-step guide and toolkit for local areas to use when developing policies and responses using partnership working and community mobilisation. Click to view publication
	Holder HD (2000) Community Prevention of Alcohol Problems. Addictive Behaviors, 25 (6), pages 843 - 859. Some of the key research in terms of local responses to alcohol-related harm has come from the USA. In this document, Harold D. Holder summarises efforts in three communities through a five-year project entitled ‘Preventing Alcohol Trauma: A Community Trial’. The interventions included community mobilisation, server training, interventions to reduce drunk-driving, interventions to reduce underage sales of alcohol, and interventions to manage the number and density of licensed premises to reduce localised harms.
