title: Using A&E data to prevent violence in communities.
abstract: The majority of violent assaults are not reported to the police but many people present to emergency departments with their injuries. A significant number of these incidents are alcohol-related. Assault data can be collected by reception staff using the Cardiff model, then used by the Community Safety Partnership to identify problem licensed premises and crime hotspots to reduce the incidence of violence and attendances at emergency departments.
