The impact of adverse childhood experience and trauma-informed practice training for police in two regions in the United Kingdom
Implementation of trauma-informed policing is developing at pace; however, evidence of impact is limited. This study examines the impact of trauma-informed practice (TIP) training (trainees, n = 358) across two police forces in England. 316 trainees completed a pre- and post-training survey measuring attitudes/knowledge relating to TIPs (229 matched for paired analyses). Compared to pre-training, post-training participants were significantly more…
Relative and combined contributions of adverse childhood experiences and self-reported child poverty to health and economic outcomes in adults – a retrospective study in a UK region
Our findings support ACEs being widespread across all socio-economic backgrounds but being more frequent in poorer childhoods. Both ACEs and CP appear independently associated with poorer life course health outcomes with exposure to ACEs adding to the risks from CP. Exposure to ACEs and CP are also associated with poorer economic outcomes in adulthood. Therefore, these childhood experiences in one generation may also increase the risk of CP and A…
Examining Sexual Harm in a Nightlife Precinct in Victoria, Australia
Sexual harm within nightlife settings is a public health concern. This study aims to investigate the nature and prevalence of sexual harm experienced by Australian nightlife patrons and examine sociodemographic and environmental factors associated with sexual harm. Street interviews were conducted with patrons ( N = 232, 51.3% women) in one night-time entertainment precinct in Victoria, Australia. Logistic regression analyses examined individual …
I’m the best dad ever, apart from being here
Parental imprisonment currently effects around 312,000 children in England and Wales, and is an adverse childhood experience associated with poorer outcomes in education and health. Parenting programmes are known to positively impact parent and child outcomes for families, however, the evidence on the impact of these within prisons is variable. This research reports on an evaluation of the Nurturing Programme for incarcerated fathers on a Family …
The Influence of Environmental Factors on Sexual Harm in Geelong Nightlife Venues
Preventing Sexual Harm in Nightlife Settings
Sexual harm within nightlife settings is a pervasive global concern; however, little is known about the nature of available interventions. The current study aims to review the literature on the nature and effectiveness of nightlife-related sexual harm interventions. A systematic literature search of six databases was conducted to identify records that were published between 1970 and June 2023 and reported approaches that aimed to reduce or preven…
Sexual violence in nightlife and positive bystander intervention in an English city
Sexual violence is a pertinent issue in nightlife. Programmes aiming to address nightlife-related sexual violence must address the wider social norms that promote sexual violence, and ensure patrons understand the extent and significance of the issue, to increase confidence to positively intervene
The Mentors in Violence Prevention programme
Evidence from this study suggests MVP is effective as a targeted programme for mentors, but no significant evidence was found to demonstrate its effectiveness as a universal bystander and violence prevention programme for mentees. Whilst further research with more robust study design is needed, developing mentors as leaders in violence prevention is a valuable impact of the programme in its own right
Reducing alcohol harms whilst minimising impact on hospitality businesses
Alcohol policies that protect public health do not necessarily harm bars. • ‘Sweetspot’ policies are those which can improve public health without affecting hospitality businesses. • There is good evidence that increasing the price of shop-bought alcohol is a sweetspot policy. • Restricting remote/online alcohol sales is also a likely sweetspot policy. • Measures to shape or manage the night-time economy are less well supported by evidence. Durin…
Implementation of Multi-agency Safeguarding Arrangements Regarding Exploitation of Young People
Multi-agency working has long been advocated for within safeguarding (how we promote an individual’s welfare and keep them safe from harm) and is particularly advantageous when responding to risks of child criminal exploitation. In the United Kingdom (UK), despite a commitment from government policy and a consensus on the ground, there remain substantial challenges in implementing this policy into practice. This paper attempts to explore the rela…
Suicidal Crisis among Children and Young People
Suicide is a major public health issue and a leading cause of death among children and young people (CYP) worldwide. There is strong evidence linking adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) to an increased risk of suicidal behaviours in adults, but there is limited understanding regarding ACEs and suicidal crises in CYP. This study aims to examine the ACEs associated with CYP presenting at Emergency Departments for suicidal crises, and specifically …
The impact of Covid-19 and associated public health restrictions on trends in police-recorded violence in an English police force area
While violent crime trends demonstrated fluctuations with lockdowns, and subsequent easing of restrictions, these changes were not demonstrably larger than expected trends within this English region, suggesting that a sustained amplification in violence was not observed within this data. However, it is important to acknowledge the high levels of violence reported in this region across the study period, which should be used as a key driver for inv…
Reflections on good practice in evaluating Violence Reduction Units
Internationally, interpersonal violence places huge burdens on the health, wellbeing and prosperity of society. In response to a notable increase in serious knife crime, in 2019, the UK Government awarded £35 million for the establishment of 18 Violence Reduction Units (VRUs) across England and Wales. There has been limited evaluation of community-level approaches for violence, with almost no published literature on the impact of VRUs. The articl…
The Contributing Role of Family, School, and Peer Supportive Relationships in Protecting the Mental Wellbeing of Children and Adolescents
Globally, mental disorders are the leading cause of disability in children and adolescents. Previous research has demonstrated that supportive relationships are a key protective factor against poor mental health in children, particularly amongst those who have experienced adversity. However, fewer studies have examined the relative impact of different types of supportive relationships. The current study examined the association between level of f…
“If You Don’t Drink at University, You’re Going to Struggle to Make Friends” Prospective Students’ Perceptions around Alcohol Use at Universities in the United Kingdom
BACKGROUND: New students arrive at university with pre-determined perceptions around how alcohol can be used as a tool to overcome anxieties and secure new friendships, which in turn influences students' drinking behaviors. From a health promotion perspective, the transition to university may present a unique yet understudied opportunity to challenge and reframe situated drinking norms. This paper explores prospective university students' percept…
The impact of Covid-19 and associated measures on health, police, and non-government organisation service utilisation related to violence against women and children
The variation across sectors in changes in VAWC service utilisation has important implications for policymakers in the event of ongoing and future restrictions related to COVID-19, and more generally during other times of prolonged presence in the home. The increased global attention on VAWC during the pandemic should be used to drive forward the agenda on prevention, increase access to services, and implement better data collection mechanisms to…
Adolescents’ Alcohol Use in Botellon and Attitudes towards Alcohol Use and Prevention Policies
Alcohol is a common drug misused by young people worldwide. Previous studies have found that attitudes towards heavy consumption are stronger predictors than general norms concerning alcohol. This study aims to explore adolescents' alcohol use and drunkenness, to understand adolescents' attitudes towards alcohol use, drunkenness and prevention approaches, and to explore associations between attitudes and personal alcohol use and demographics. Met…
Welsh Primary Schoolchildren’s Perceptions of Electronic Cigarettes
There are concerns that the growing popularity of e-cigarettes promotes experimentation among children. Given the influence of the early years on attitude and habit formation, better understanding of how younger children perceive vaping before experimentation begins is needed, to prevent uptake and inform tobacco control strategies. We explored Welsh primary schoolchildren's (aged 7-11) awareness of e-cigarettes relative to tobacco smoking, their…
Effectiveness of a Community-Based Intervention to Increase Supermarket Vendors’ Compliance with Age Restrictions for Alcohol Sales in Spain
In Spain the legal age to buy alcohol is 18 years. However, official surveys show that minors perceive alcohol availability to be easy. This paper describes the impacts of a community-based intervention to increase vendors' compliance with age limits regarding alcohol sales in supermarkets. The aim of this study was to explore the association between implementation of a multicomponent intervention to reduce adolescents' alcohol use and sale of al…
Perspectives of Frontline Professionals on Palestinian Children Living with Sibling and Parental Drug Use in the UNRWA Camps, Jordan
Perspectives of Frontline Professionals on Palestinian Children Living with Sibling and Parental Drug Use in the West Bank and Gaza Strip
The Occupied Territories of Palestine (OtP) consists of the non-contiguous West Bank including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. Political and economic tensions and its dense populations compound the impact of drug abuse and addiction in the home. A qualitative study using four focus groups (n = 42) was conducted in West Bank and Gaza Strip explored the experiences of professionals working with Palestinian families and children affected by subs…
Ideal, expected and perceived descriptive norm drunkenness in UK nightlife environments
Nightlife users' perceptions of typical drunkenness in nightlife settings may be elevated and many of the heaviest drinkers are likely to drink beyond their ideal level of drunkenness. Findings can support emerging work to address cultures of intoxication in nightlife environments and suggest that interventions to correct misperceptions of normal levels of nightlife drunkenness may be of benefit
Relationships between adverse childhood experiences and adult mental well-being
Childhood adversity has a strong cumulative relationship with adult mental well-being. Comprehensive mental health strategies should incorporate interventions to prevent ACEs and moderate their impacts from the very earliest stages of life
Does legislation to prevent alcohol sales to drunk individuals work? Measuring the propensity for night-time sales to drunks in a UK city
BACKGROUND: By measuring alcohol retailers' propensity to illegally sell alcohol to young people who appear highly intoxicated, we examine whether UK legislation is effective at preventing health harms resulting from drunk individuals continuing to access alcohol. METHODS: 73 randomly selected pubs, bars and nightclubs in a city in North West England were subjected to an alcohol purchase test by pseudo-drunk actors. Observers recorded venue chara…
Drunk and Disorganised
Preventing alcohol-related harm in drinking environments is a growing international priority. Factors relating to the physical, social and staffing environments in bars can contribute to increased alcohol consumption and harm. Understanding the relationships between such factors and intoxication in European drinking environments is critical to developing appropriate interventions. We undertook a quantitative observational study in 60 bars in four…
Drinking behaviours and blood alcohol concentration in four European drinking environments
Different models of drinking behaviour are seen in different nightlife settings. Here, the UK sample was typified by continued increases in inebriation compared with steady, more moderate intoxication elsewhere. With the former being associated with higher health risks, European alcohol policy must work to deter this form of nightlife

Nighttime assaults
To date, the role of ED data has focused on helping target nightlife police activity. Its utility is much greater; capable of targeting and evaluating multi-agency life course approaches to violence prevention and optimising frontline resources. National ED data are critical for fully engaging health services in the prevention of violence
