Operation Nova is an intiative launched by Lincolnshire Police in 2009. There are three strands to the operation:
1) Tackling domestic abuse
2) Tackling alcohol related anti-social behaviour
3) Violence in the night time economy
It is very much looking at preventing the crimes rather than dealing with them when they have happened. And taking a strong stance on those that break the law in each of the areas outlined above.
The campaign in March will be raising awareness within Lincolnshire of legislation that means you could be banned from all licenced premises within the area for up to two years if barred from one.
As a student this is a daunting prospect, for instance, if you are studying a three year degree and are barred from one bar in your first year then you could be spending up to two thirds of your time at University with no where to go on a night out.
So follow my effort to be a sober student...
