This review forms the evidence base of the 'Good practice toolkit on preventing violence in retail and licensed premises'. This literature review and the toolkit were part of a research project commissioned by Westminster City Council (WCC), and funded by HSE under the 'Local Authorities (LA) and HSE Working Together Strategic Programme'. This initiative aims to give Local Authorities better access to scientific support. |

WCC saw crime and disorder and the risk of violence to staff and customers as significant issues in licensed and retail premises. They had started to tackle these problems through their Civic Watch Business project and partnership working with Crime Prevention Officers and Police Licensing Officers, but felt that their work would be further enhanced by national guidance – the toolkit. |
