September 2012 had become known as a synonym for the methanol scandal in the Czech Republic during which over a hundred of individuals were hospitalized and several dozens of the patients died. This all occurred due to the ingestion of the adulterated alcohol. Whereas partial and time-limited prohibition which restricted the sales of alcoholic beverages with the alcohol content of 20 per cent and higher, was enforced in the Czech Republic from 14th to 27th September 2012. Due to further emerging poisonings in recent years is the topic of the methanol poisonings still relevant. The aim of the diploma paper is to depict the harm reduction strategies targeted on reducing the risks of the methanol poisonings used by the vulnerable target group of the alcoholic beverages consumers. Further are being outlined the risk behavior patterns and strategies in the targeted group of participants. According to the above mentioned aims is relevant to investigate the process of compliance of the emergency measures focused on the end market with the alcohol.

På grund av Covid-19 infördes ett alkoholförbud i syfte att minska smittspridningen i Sverige. Tidigare forskning visar att det finns ett samband mellan alkoholanvändning och våldsbrottslighet. Det är därmed av intresse att undersöka vilken påverkan alkoholförbudet haft på antalet misshandelsbrott i den offentliga miljön i Lund och hur det eventuellt förändrat arbetsuppgifterna för polisanställda med operativ inriktning respektive strategisk inriktning. Antalet anmälda samt självrapporterade misshandelsbrott har minskat mellan 2017 och 2021. Arbetsuppgifterna för de polisanställda skiljer sig åt eftersom vissa har ett strategiskt fokus och andra ett operativt fokus. Av resultatet i denna studie framgår det att misshandelsbrotten misnkat, både utfirån statistik av Polismyndigheten samt polisanställdas upplevda biild. Utifrån de fem semistrukturerade intervjuerna framgick det att arbetsuppgifterna för polisanställda med operativ inriktning förändrats mer än arbetsuppgifterna för polisanställda med strategisk inriktning. Samtliga polisanställda utför krogrelaterade arbetsuppgifter i mindre omfattnning och mer tid kan avsättas för andra relevanta arbetsuppgifter. Polisanställda med operativ inrikning hanterar samt förebygger en större mängd ungdomsbrott samt narkotikabrott medan polisanställda med strategisk inritkning i större utsträckning arbetar med grannsamverkan och att främja kontaktnätet med lokalsamhället. / Due to the Covid-19 the Swedish governement introduced an alcohol prohibition in an aim to reduce the spread of infection in Sweden. Previous research demonstrates that there is a conjunction between alcohol use and violent crimes. It is therefore of interest to investigate what impact the alcohol prohibition has had on the amount of assault crimes in the public environment in Lund and how it eventually have effected operational police officers and strategic police officers tasks of employment. The number of reported crimes and selfreported assault crimes has decreased between 2017 and 2021. The police officers tasks of employment differ because some have a operational focus and others have a strategical focus. The results in this study demonstrates that the assault crimes have decreased, both from statistics from the police department and police officers experience. From the five semistructured interviews it turned out that the operational police officers tasks of employment has changed more than strategical police officers. Both the strategical and the operational police officers perform restaurant-related tasks to a lesser extent and more time can be set aside for other relevant tasks. The operational police officers handle and prevent a large number of juvenile- and drugcrimes while the strategical police officers to a greater extent work with neighborhood cooperation and to promote the network of contact with the local community.

This diploma thesis compares the profits and costs of the prohibition adopted in the Czech Republic during September 2012. The prohibition that lasted two weeks was a reaction of the Czech government on series of intoxication due to the proof of toxic methanol. The thesis detects, based on the comparison of the value of saved lives and costs that the prohibition cause, the effectivity of the government interference on the market oriented economy. The profits of the prohibition are defined as a value of saved lives of people, who would die because of the intoxication if the prohibition would not be adopted. The value of the human life is defined by DALY (disability-adjusted life years), the willingness to pay for prolongation of own life and the amount of potential juridical refunds. The costs of the prohibition are formulated as a value of unsold goods and services. Diploma thesis considers also impact of prohibition on tax collection. We can state that, based on the cost-benefit analysis, the adopted prohibition was economically effective.
