What Ways That Current Lock Out Laws Developed?

Australian prison populations are increasing, putting enormous financial burdens on the government. In the meantime, there is recognition that imprisonment does not achieve some of the stated objectives that are important, and, also harmful - to offenders, their families and in the long run, to the community.

Evidence and research proves that the laws related to the legal drinking age does not reflect today’s societal values and that the legislations ‘Liquor Act 2007 No 90 (NSW) Part 7 Division 1 Sections 117 & 116’ should be reformed to raise the drinking age in Australia from 18 years of age to 21. Through surveying different age groups and socio-economic backgrounds of society, information has been gathered to demonstrate that the current laws do not reflect society’s opinion on the legal drinking age in Australia. Research suggests that there are many social consequences related to alcohol in young people including alcohol fuelled violence and major health issues. Despite evidence from leading health experts,

Laws surrounding alcohol use and consumption in the United States all stem from one major root: the Prohibition Era of the 1920s. The Prohibition Era lasted almost thirteen years and banned the production, the distribution, and the sale of alcohol. In 1933, the Prohibition Act was repealed and states designated their own legal drinking age. In 1984 the National Minimum Drinking Age act was passed and raised the drinking age in the United States to twenty-one. This law caused uproar in states that had declared the minimum drinking age to be eighteen. Alcohol consumption is a major factor in cultural and social matters and the National Minimum Drinking Age has affected everybody. This law is unjust

The prohibition was a widespread movement during the first decade of the 20th century that sought to illegalize the widespread distribution of alcohol.

But, overall, legal drinking establishments were closed. The public sale of alcohol was banned, as was custody and public use of alcohol. Alcohol use was allowed in private homes. As a result, drinking had to be behind closed doors, and often in secret. Unfortunately the prohibition of alcohol did not stop people from drinking, it just kept hiding as a secret. These events are very similar to the ones in Colorado. However, in the United States when the Control Substance Act was passed, instead of people secretly drinking alcohol, people secretly smoked marijuana. People secretly went to take the drug and often bought it from the black market. By 1924, every province in Canada declared their prohibition against drinking alcohol, much like how Colorado legalized the fun use of
