There are a range of tools and powers which we can use to tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB) conducted by individuals and communities.
The goal of any action is to:
- protect victims, witnesses and the community
- enable the perpetrator to understand the consequences of their behaviour
- make sure the perpetrator changes their behaviour.
Measures that can be used by the police and other agencies include:
- warning letters and interviews, contracts and agreements
- fixed penalty notices and penalty notices for disorder
- parenting orders, individual support orders, noise abatement notices, injunctions, dispersal powers and anti-social behaviour orders (ASBOs)
- ‘crack house’ closure orders
- possession proceedings against a tenant.
