Crime and disorder seminar

Alcohol and other drug-related crime and disorder is a substantial burden on Australian and Victorian communities and a wide-range of measures are needed to tackle the problem.

On 5 September, DrugInfo hosted a seminar at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre. The speakers (pictured above) reflected on the themes arising from the DrugInfo newsletter and Prevention Research Quarterly, "The role of alcohol and other drug related crime and disorder".
