Alcohol education courses for offenders: ten years after.
Data from a survey of U.K. agencies are presented. Trends in service provision for drinking offenders are reported, in the context of two previous surveys. National development of service provision is examined, since the original survey, reported in 1982. Findings from the survey have suggested that the field has become stagnant, due to a failure to merge research and practice. Alcohol educators who continue to ignore lessons from such surveys may face extinction from the field.
