City groups join forces to tackle bad behaviour

POLICE, COUNCIL AND CITY GROUPS PLEDGE TO TARGET ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR

- By KATIE TIMMS

CITYWIDE organisations are joining forces to combat antisocial behaviour (ASB). Plymouth City Council, Plymouth Community Homes, Livewest Housing Association, Devon and Cornwall Police, and the Police and Crime Commissioner have all come together to reaffirm their commitment to the ASB Pledge.

This pledge is a promise to support victims of antisocial behaviour through the use of case reviews.

Victims who are repeatedly subjected to antisocial behaviour can request a case review if they meet certain local criteria. This provides an opportunity for an independent assessment of what further action can be taken to address the issue.
