The night-time economy poses one of the biggest crime problems in Britain. This book highlights how and why this threat developed at the time it did. It charts the rise of a 'night-time high street'. This is an analysis of social control in bars and clubs, courtroom battles between local communities and the pub trade, and street-level policing.
