Time Limit and Local Option: A Re-Statement of a Licensing Controversy (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book presents a persuasive argument for temperance reform through Local Option and a Time Limit on liquor licenses. The author cites historical evidence to prove that state action—whether repressive or permissive—has a powerful effect on drinking habits. The author argues that the Licensing Act of 1872, which came after a period of minimal oversight and a proliferation of licenses, was a turning point that led to a decrease in drunkenness and crime. This Act provided the model for the reforms proposed in this book, which include granting local communities direct control over the liquor trade and establishing a time limit on licenses. The author maintains that these methods have been successfully employed in other countries and can be implemented in the United Kingdom to reduce alcohol-related problems.
