The NSW crime statistician is preparing to release landmark research into violence in and around The Star casino as a review into lockout laws considers whether the venue should be further regulated.

Next week the Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) will publish research titled: "Did the 'lockout law' reforms increase assaults at The Star casino, Pyrmont?"

It follows research published in April last year into the effect of laws that have applied a 1.30am lockout and 3am last drinks to high-risk venues in Kings Cross and Sydney CBD – but not the Star – since February 2014.

That research found that between February and September 2014 there had been an average of 6.3 incidents per month – including but not exclusively alcohol-related – in and around the Star.
