Experts respond to Sydney night-time economy report
The Centre for Translational Data Science at the University of Sydney is pleased to have contributed to the evaluation of the future of Sydney’s night time economy.
The Joint Select Committee’s recommendation to rescind the lockout laws in the CBD is in line with the evidence CTDS provided to the committee, which showed that the lockout laws had no significant impact on the incidence of violent crime in the CBD.
As highlighted by the committee, a more detailed analysis of the impact of various policy decisions on crime across the state is needed to continue to reduce violence.
Finally, we are delighted to be asked to provide ongoing statistical data analysis to the coordinator and inform future decision making. We look forward to working with BOCSAR and other NSW government institutions.
