摘要:
Abstract:Examination is made of a range of alcohol related problems and alcohol related offences in the United Kingdom, including Scotland. Traditionally only a limited number of sentences are available to the courts. The contribution of diversion schemes is considered briefly and, in particular, the use of a deferment scheme in Dumbarton, Scotland. Offenders considered suitable are referred by the court to the Dumbarton Area Council on Alcohol for assessment. Those accepted for help receive individual and group counselling from voluntary counsellors. The progress of these offenders is examined at the end of the six or twelve months deferment period and again after a two year follow up.
