Objective.我们调查了巴西迪亚德马市限制酒吧酒精饮料销售时间是否对凶杀案和暴力侵害妇女行为产生影响。限制酒类销售的政策于2002年7月出台，禁止在晚上11点后在现场销售酒类。我们分析了迪亚德马（人口360000）警察档案中的凶杀案（1995年至2005年）和对妇女的暴力行为（2000年至2005年）数据，采用对数线性回归分析。对饮酒时间的新限制导致每月减少近9起谋杀案。对女性的攻击也减少了，但在我们控制了潜在趋势的模型中，这种影响并不显著。限制营业时间导致谋杀案显着减少，这证实了我们从文献中了解到的情况：限制获取酒精可以减少与酒精相关的问题。我们的研究结果不支持匡威的观点，即增加可用性将以某种方式减少问题。
Objective. We investigated whether limiting the hours of alcoholic beverage sales in bars had an effect on homicides and violence against women in the Brazilian city of Diadema. The policy to restrict alcohol sales was introduced in July 2002 and prohibited on-premises alcohol sales after 11 PM.Methods. We analyzed data on homicides (1995 to 2005) and violence against women (2000 to 2005) from the Diadema (population 360000) police archives using log-linear regression analyses.Results. The new restriction on drinking hours led to a decrease of almost 9 murders a month. Assaults against women also decreased, but this effect was not significant in models in which we controlled for underlying trends.Conclusions. Introducing restrictions on opening hours resulted in a significant decrease in murders, which confirmed what we know from the literature: restricting access to alcohol can reduce alcohol-related problems. Our results give no support to the converse view, that increasing availability will somehow reduce problems.
