The Violence Prevention Potential of Reducing Alcohol Outlet Access in Baltimore, Maryland.

CONCLUSIONS: For preventing homicides, the strategy of removing liquor stores in residential zones was preferred because it was associated with substantial reductions in homicides without closing unacceptably high numbers of outlets. It is possible that policies that close the bars/taverns operating as liquor stores would be associated with decreases in other types of violent crime. PMID: 32048598 [PubMed - in process]
