abstract="Aims: To examine the effects on violence of a policy change that ended prohibition of off-sale alcohol outlets in Lubbock, Texas. Methods: Time-series analysis of violent crime data from police records comparing the periods before and after the policy change. Results: The effect of the policy change on both total violent crime and aggregated assault was small and did not approach statistical significance. Conclusions: Increased availability of alcohol through off-sale premises may not influence the type of violence reported to the police in Lubbock, Texas.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
