Freshers are the targets of a new Oxford City Council campaign to crack down on drink and drug-fuelled bad behaviour in the town. Leaflets have been sent to all freshers declaring the penalties for alcohol fuelled anti-social behaviour and an advertising campaign on buses and local radio has been launched.The campaign is running in conjunction with Operation Bratwurst, which aims to cut drink-fuelled crime in East Oxford. Police officers and community support officers are on hand at night in East Oxford to inform people about responsible drinking and the dangers of excess.Officers will be visiting pubs and late-night venues and giving advice to staff on how to deal with drug misuse on their premises. A drug dog detection team will also be out in East Oxford for two evenings.The radio campaign, which is launched today, will cover a number of aspects associated with people having a safe night out in Oxford including interviews with the police, drug dog company and A&E staff. There will also be interviews with people who have abused drugs and alcohol.
