I think the only thing I would add to this paper in terms of alcohol taxation is again to underscore how important price is as a determinant of alcohol-related harm.
Have you ever wondered how something as simple as alcohol taxation could influence violent crime rates? In this episode of Addiction Audio, Rob Calder sits down with Katherine Keyes to explore her fascinating research on this very topic. Using an agent-based modeling approach, Keyes and her team created a mathematical simulation of New York City to study the effects of alcohol taxation on violent victimization rates.
Their findings suggest that increasing alcohol taxes can significantly reduce alcohol-related harm, making it a powerful tool for public health. The model also allowed them to test various scenarios and interventions, offering a deeper understanding of how price influences behavior. Katherine emphasizes the need for continued research in this area to develop more effective strategies for reducing violence. Tune in to hear more about these groundbreaking insights and what they could mean for urban areas worldwide.
