Extract

Young males with alcohol-related offending behaviours were recruited into a research study. In a Young Offenders' Institution, pre-release offenders were allocated to a behavioural Alcohol Education Course (AEC) or a non-intervention control group. At follow-up, dependent variable differences were observed between the two groups. Results are discussed in the context of policy and practice.
