Abstract
Nightlife historically has been viewed as a social problem to be contained by licensing,
policing and the management of supply. In the context of recent trends towards
deregulation of hours and supply, fears have again resurfaced as to the detrimental
impact of the ‘night-time economy’ on street disorder and violence, concerns that have
focused attention on the Licensing Act 2003. Utilizing a case study of the regulation of
nightlife in the London locality of Southview, this article will explore how there has been
ongoing and renewed attention on the problems associated with the night-time economy
centred on differentiating between risky and safe cultural and economic forms. The
article will argue that the Licensing Act represents a consolidation of over a decade of
regulatory change that has ‘reordered’ regulatory approaches to nightlife; one that has,
in combination with other aspects of economic, social and cultural change, been
productive of ‘subcultural closure’.
