The antisocial behaviour review was set up to re-examine the impact of the our approach to antisocial behaviour, drawing on evidence from local and national experts.
A range of initiatives to tackle antisocial behaviour more effectively in the future were recommended:
- Ensuring a range of interventions are applied, with an 'antisocial behaviour ladder' at the heart of the our approach to antisocial behaviour. The review found that our interventions work best when a person causing antisocial behaviour is given a clear set of goals and expectations that must be met. This is alongside providing them with information on support programmes and the consequences of breaking the agreement.
- Making sure members of the community have an opportunity to get involved in tackling antisocial behaviour
- More help for young adults, including looking into extending the Youth Inclusion and Support Panels to the 18-25 year old group
- Taking away privileges such as the right to a secure tenancy and to buy your council home from those who continually flout the rules.
The review was carried out in three stages:
- analysing existing data on antisocial behaviour
- a case study analysis of a cross section of individual cases including a persistent drug user, drug dealer, sex worker, and beggar
- talking with a range of people including Safer Neighbourhood Panels, Camden residents, national experts, and dedicated sessions for young and old people
