RESTRICTING HOURS OF SALE IN DIADEMA, BRAZIL:REASONS
The community had very high rates of homicides, assaults, vehicle crashes, and gang violence. Many of these incidents and homicides occurred between 9:00 PM and 6:00 AM.
In response, the municipal government passed an ordinance effective July, 2002 that prohibited on-premise alcohol sales between the hours of 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM. Previously there were no sales-hour restrictions and most establishments remained open 24 hours.

RESTRICTING HOURS OF SALE IN DIADEMA, BRAZIL: PROGRESSIVE PENALTIES AND POPULARIZATION
(a) a warning for first offense, (b) a fine for a second offense, (c) fine and license suspension for a third offense, and (d) license cancellation for a fourth offense.
Teams of municipal guards and representatives of other city agencies were assigned on a random basis to enforce the ordinance.
Local news, radio and educational brochures distributed to the community were used to increase awareness of the new ordinance. A toll-free number was provided to allow the public to report offenders. Surveys indicated a high level of community receptivity and participation with more than 90% approval after 2 years.
