Anti Social Behaviour (ASB) Case Review
(Formerly known as Community Trigger)
Measures have been put in place from October 2014 under the Anti Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 which are designed to give victims and communities a say in the way anti social behaviour is dealt with:
The review, gives victims and communities the ability to request a review of their case and bring agencies together to take a joined up, problem solving approach to find a solution.
If you have reported Anti-Social Behaviour and you feel that insufficient action has been taken to resolve the matter, tell us about it under the ASB Case Review.
The review is designed to ensure that there is a review where cases have been reported and no action has been taken. It is not a complaints procedure.
