Abstract

Indermaur presents the results of a study of the extent and nature of alcohol use and abuse among offenders entering Perth metropolitan prisons. As a result of the project, certain distinct groups emerge as targets for intervention. The five main groups are: Aboriginal alcohol abusers; alcohol abusers not concerned with their alcohol use; heavy alcohol users; drunk drivers; and women alcohol abusers.
