This page presents data on alcohol-related offences in NSW. We present offences with the highest proportions of alcohol-related incidents, then focus on the characteristics of alcohol-related domestic assault and non-domestic assault incidents.

The data reflects offences where the NSW Police Force choose to flag the incident as 'alcohol related'.  Alcohol related results are available for selected offences where police could be expected to have information about whether alcohol is involved, such as assault, sexual offences, robbery, homicide, harassment/threatening behaviour, abduction/kidnapping, offensive conduct and offensive language.
