Alcohol-related violence surrounding the nighttime economy puts increased pressure and workload on security and police forces. Research surrounding alcohol-related violence consistently identifies risk factors, such as the organizational practices and physical characteristics of drinking establishments, as influential in the generation of violent behavior. The current research uses sequence analysis to investigate dynamic patterns of events perceived to lead to a violent incident. The research was collected using questionnaires across university students with customer experience of the modern nighttime economy. The findings show perceptions of maladaptive patterns of events that may lead to violent incidents in different environments (a brightly lit bar and a nightclub). Analysis demonstrated that participants thought those involved in a violent incident would have consumed large amounts of alcohol throughout the night, fueled by predrinking and irresponsible serving practices of staff. Frustration inducing events were also common stages in the sequences leading to a violent outcome. Finally, staff intervention in violent situations was also considered to be an important predictor of violence, with forceful removal of individuals from premises often considered to be the final event preceding a violent incident. The present sequences analysis supports the suggestion that the organizational practices and physical characteristics of a drinking establishment influence the risk of violent activity and helps identify where initiatives aiming to reduce levels of violence could be effectively targeted.
与夜间经济有关的酒精相关暴力事件给安保和警察部队带来了更大的压力和工作量。围绕与酒精相关的暴力事件的研究一致认为，诸如饮酒场所的组织实践和物理特征等风险因素会影响暴力行为的产生。当前的研究使用序列分析来调查导致暴力事件的感知事件的动态模式。这项研究是通过问卷调查收集的，调查对象是有现代夜间经济顾客体验的大学生。研究结果表明，人们对可能导致不同环境（灯火通明的酒吧和夜总会）中暴力事件的不良适应模式的看法。分析表明，参与者认为那些参与暴力事件的人会在整个晚上都大量饮酒，这是由预饮和工作人员不负责任的服务行为所助长的。在导致暴力结果的序列中，诱发挫折的事件也很常见。最后，工作人员对暴力情况的干预也被认为是暴力的一个重要预测因素，强行将个人从场所带走通常被认为是暴力事件发生前的最后一个事件。本序列分析支持了这样一种观点，即饮酒场所的组织实践和物理特征会影响暴力活动的风险，并有助于确定旨在降低暴力水平的举措可以有效地针对哪些地方。
