Vendors will be named and shamed in a Home Office project that was launched last week after publication of the British Crime Survey.
Although crime in England and Wales has remained stable, its pattern has changed.

The survey found that alcohol accounts for around half of all violent crime.
The Police Standards Unit and the Association of Chief Police Officers will head the campaign.
