Youth crimes spike immediately after drinking age

(University of Northern British Columbia) A new study from the Northern Medical Program at the University of Northern British Columbia has shown that minimum legal drinking age legislation in Canada can have a major effect on crimes committed by young adults. Young people just older than the legal age had significant increases in commission of all crimes, including violent crimes and nuisance crimes, compared to those immediately under the restriction.
