Tackling crime and Anti-Social Behaviour

Alcohol reforms: Have your say

Alcohol Abuse causes crime.

60 per cent of all assaults and 67 per cent of domestic violence incidents in the Territory are alcohol related.

Across the Territory last year, there were 54,000 incidents of people taken into police protective custody due to alcohol misuse.

It has been estimated that alcohol-related crime and alcohol-related illness costs the Territory community more than $640 million per year.

That is why the Territory Government is taking tough action to turn off the tap to problem drinkers to stop the violence.

If you are not a banned drinker nothing changes.
