| There is a close relationship between alcohol and violent crime |
More than one million people are the victims of violent crimes each year.
This number has been increasing rapidly - although some argue this is due to changes in reporting.
Overall, violent crime rose by 11% last year, with the biggest increases in violence against the person and rape.
