The idea for a research project to examine the factors that influence levels of disorder associated with licensed premises in Glasgow city centre was first proposed by Jack Law and Mary Elmers of Alcohol Focus Scotland in early 2003. Alcohol Focus Scotland run an alcohol server training program, called ServeWise, this is a social responsibility intervention course for employees of the licensed trade industry. This idea, for a project to examine how factors such as staff training and other variables impact upon levels of disorder within licensed premises in Glasgow, arose following the refusal to grant the renewal of license for a nightclub in the city in October 2002. At the time, a senior police officer described the nightclub concerned as the “epicentre of violence” in Glasgow city centre. This case brought into focus the need for research to be conducted within Glasgow’s licensed premises, including both those with a high level of known disorder and those unknown to the police, this fuller picture being necessary in order to ascertain which factors, present in premises with low levels of disorder, may be preventative of such problems. An understanding of these preventative factors would allow policies to be drawn up with the intention of minimising the occurrence of such alcohol-related problems in future. In the months following this proposal, concerns regarding binge drinking and violence in the night-time economy, in Glasgow city centre and elsewhere, continued to grow and in March 2004 Greater Glasgow NHS Board commissioned this research project.
