Alcohol-related violence causes substantial death, injury and health problems. The 2004 Global Burden of Disease project estimated that alcohol-attributable violence accounted for 248,000 deaths annually worldwide [1]. As noted by Bellis and Hughes in this issue [2], the link between alcohol and violence has been recognized as far back as the 4 century BC. However, understanding this link and especially how to prevent alcohol-fuelled violence continues to perplex contemporary scientists and policy-makers. Thus, in March 2010, researchers from 14 countries met in Melbourne to present recent research on this topic and discuss issues and solutions. This special issue includes 12 papers from that conference. Other papers from the conference are included in a companion issue published in , 2011.
酒精相关暴力会导致大量人员死亡、受伤和健康问题。2004 年全球疾病负担项目估计，全球每年有 24.8 万人的死亡与酒精有关[1]。正如 Bellis 和 Hughes 在本期文章中指出的[2]，酒精与暴力之间的联系早在公元前 4 世纪就已被认识到。然而，理解这种联系，特别是如何预防由酒精引发的暴力行为，仍然困扰着当代科学家和政策制定者。因此，2010 年 3 月，来自 14 个国家的研究人员在墨尔本聚会，展示了这一主题的最新研究，并讨论了相关问题和解决方案。本期特刊收录了来自该会议的 12 篇论文。会议的其他论文收录在 2011 年出版的 期刊的一个增刊中。
