  2. Background • This presentation will provide an overview of police, local authority, and court powers in relation to the control of crime, disorder and public nuisance in the night-time economy • As part of a research project funded by the Alcohol Education Research Council; a range of practitioners in Leeds, the Wirral, and nationally, were asked to reflect upon the practical implementation of various powers

  3. Outline • There has been a significant increase in the number and scope of such powers in recent years following a cluster of new legislation. The powers considered relate to: • Controls over members of the public • Controls over the operation of licensed premises • Strategic governance of the nightlife environment

  4. Controls over members of the public • Penalty Notices for Disorder (PNDs) • Directions to Leave a Locality • Drinking Banning Orders (DBOs) • Designated Public Places Orders (DPPOs • Dispersal Orders

  5. Controls over the operation of licensed premises • Licensing conditions • Licensing law enforcement powers • Noise abatement • Closure powers • Licence review

  6. Strategic governance of the nightlife environment • Cumulative Impact Policies (CIPs) • Alcohol Disorder Zones (ADZs) • Business Improvement Districts (BIDs)

  7. Questions/emerging themes • To what extent are the powers being used, and how does this vary by force/region/locale? • What are the effects of resources issues and targets on the implementation and enforcement of the powers? • How do the various elements of the legislation translate in practice and what issues might adversely effect their use? • To what extent does political will at the local/regional level determine how the powers are used? • Does a policy of partnership working impact on the use of enforcement measures?
