Journal Article
Brennan, I. (2016). Victim responses to violence : the effect of alcohol context on crime labeling. Journal of interpersonal violence, 31(6), 1116-1140. https://doi.org/10.1177/0886260514564068

The labeling of an incident as a crime is an essential precursor to the use of criminal law, but the contextual factors that influence this decision are unknown. One such context that is a frequent setting for violence is the barroom. This study expl... Read More about Victim responses to violence : the effect of alcohol context on crime labeling.
