The fifth Bulletin documents trends in alcohol-related violence throughout Australian states and territories between 1991/92 and 1999/00 using both police and hospital data. Measures of alcohol-related violence indicated consistently high levels in Australia in the 1990s with an estimated 8,661 people admitted to hospital for injuries caused by violent assault in 1998/99. Seventy four percent of people admitted to hospital with assaultive injuries were male and two-thirds were aged between 15 and 34 years. Non-metro regions had markedly higher levels of violence than metro areas.
