While research on the commercial determinants of health has expanded, it has not been applied to sexual violence. This study examines how commercial factors, including commercial practices and structures, contribute to sexual violence in live music venues. We draw on interviews with 25 staff and patrons from live music venues in the Northern Territory, Australia, conducted in late 2024. Participants were asked about barriers and facilitators to preventing sexual violence. We analysed interviews thematically first using an inductive approach, then deductively applying a commercial determinants of health framework to examine how commercial actors and structures might facilitate sexual violence. Commercial actors were seen to engage in market practices (e.g. exceeding capacity, overserving alcohol, understaffing) and non-market practices (e.g. symbolic engagement with prevention initiatives) that contributed to sexual violence. These practices occurred within systems that prioritized profit and produced a casualized workforce often ill-equipped to respond to sexual violence. Sexual violence was further reinforced by gendered power relations in venues, a reliance on prevention through self-regulation, and neoliberal norms that framed sexual violence as an issue of individual responsibility. Addressing commercial drivers through regulation offers actionable policy levers\u2014although economic structures may constrain these efforts. We suggest greater attention to commercial determinants is both theoretically and politically valuable in sexual violence research across live music settings and other environments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/heapro\/daag148","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,22]],"date-time":"2026-09-22T11:35:22Z","timestamp":1790076922000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Exploring the role of commercial actors and structures in contributing to sexual violence in live music venues"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"41","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3203-6123","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriel","family":"Caluzzi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Menzies School of Health Research, Charles Darwin University , Red 9 Casuarina Campus, Univ Drive North, Casuarina NT 0811, Australia"},{"name":"Centre for Alcohol Policy Research, School of Psychology and Public Health, La Trobe University , Kingsbury Dr, Bundoora VIC 3083, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Felicity","family":"Wardle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Menzies School of Health Research, Charles Darwin University , Red 9 Casuarina Campus, Univ Drive North, Casuarina NT 0811, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah","family":"Clifford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Menzies School of Health Research, Charles Darwin University , Red 9 Casuarina Campus, Univ Drive North, Casuarina NT 0811, Australia"},{"name":"Drug Policy Modelling Program, Social Policy Research Centre, University of New South Wales , Kensington NSW 2052, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruth","family":"Canty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine and Public Health, Flinders University , Cnr University Drive North & University Drive West, Brinkin NT 0810, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cassandra J C","family":"Wright","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Menzies School of Health Research, Charles Darwin University , Red 9 Casuarina Campus, Univ Drive North, Casuarina NT 0811, Australia"},{"name":"Centre for Alcohol Policy Research, School of Psychology and Public Health, La Trobe University , Kingsbury Dr, Bundoora VIC 3083, Australia"},{"name":"Burnet Institute , 85 Commercial Rd, Melbourne VIC 3004, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026100604402303000_daag148-B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"481","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1465-3362.2011.00296.x","article-title":"Alcohol's role in sexual violence perpetration: theoretical explanations, existing evidence and future directions.","volume":"30","author":"Abbey","year":"2011","journal-title":"Drug Alcohol Rev"},{"key":"2026100604402303000_daag148-B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"99","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-soc-073117-041410","article-title":"Silence, power, and inequality: an intersectional approach to sexual violence.","volume":"44","author":"Armstrong","year":"2018","journal-title":"Annu Rev Sociol"},{"key":"2026100604402303000_daag148-B3","author":"Australian Bureau of Statistics"},{"key":"2026100604402303000_daag148-B4","author":"Australian Bureau of Statistics"},{"key":"2026100604402303000_daag148-B5","author":"Australian Bureau of Statistics"},{"key":"2026100604402303000_daag148-B6","author":"Australian Bureau of Statistics"},{"key":"2026100604402303000_daag148-B7","volume-title":"Examining Sexual Violence in the Music City of Greater Melbourne","author":"Baker","year":"2023"},{"key":"2026100604402303000_daag148-B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"352","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph21030352","article-title":"The commercial determinants of violence: identifying opportunities for violence prevention through a public health-based framework analysis.","volume":"21","author":"Bellis","year":"2024","journal-title":"Int J Environ Res Public Health"},{"key":"2026100604402303000_daag148-B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"328","DOI":"10.1080\/14780887.2020.1769238","article-title":"One size fits all?
