Anti-Social Behaviour From Theory Into Practice 22 nd January 2015

Background Multiple pieces of legislation with 19 different tools and powers 2010 ‘Moving Beyond The ASBO” speech Review of all tools and powers White Paper – Putting Victims First

Tackling Problem Individuals Anti-Social Behaviour Order ASBO on Conviction Drinking Banning Order DBO on Conviction Anti-Social Behaviour Injunction Individual Support Order Intervention Order Civil injunction Criminal Behaviour Order The new Civil Injunction will be available in the County Court for adults and the Youth Court for under 18s. The Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) is available to deal with the most seriously anti-social individuals on conviction for any criminal offence. As well as prohibitions, both the injunction and CBO will be able to include positive requirements that can address the underlying causes of the behaviour and prevent future recurrences (for instance, alcohol or drugs misuse).

Criminal Behaviour Order On conviction Two conditions must be met - harassment, alarm or distress proved beyond reasonable doubt and - must be helpful in preventing further anti-social behaviour Minimum 12 months and maximum 3 years for under 18s Minimum 2 years and no maximum for adults Breach is a criminal offence Joint protocol agreed in Greater Manchester

Empowering Communities The ASB Case Review gives victims of ASB the opportunity to force a case review where their report meets a locally determined threshold. Oldham Threshold: 3 calls from one household or same locality about the same problem The Community Remedy gives victims of low-level crime and ASB a say in the punishment of offenders out of court. Behaviour must be pass the threshold for criminal prosecution or civil injunction application.

Where we were Extensive central Government grants A range of statutory requirements under the 1998 CAD and 2004 PCA Performance framework a wide range of indicators Central Government Guidance and Policy Significant new legislation (20 Acts)

Where are we now No central Government grant except for Prevent programme, which is ring-fenced Last funding in for gangs and youth violence Pressures of Local Authority and partner budgets Partners retracting, partnership working and collaboration more difficult How do Councils prioritise community safety? Role of OPPC, governance and funding

Current Situation Community safety vastly reduced, less resource and staff Core funding from Council, BCU and OPPC More focussed on risk and threat Strong political support Community safety delivered through neighbourhood agenda and core team of 2 staff Local freedom and flexibility v’s lack of funding

Priorities Statutory requirement for SIA to identify and set priorities Domestic and Sexual Violence Youth Crime Prevention Asb Drug and Alcohol related crime Gangs and OCGs Cyber Crime Violent Crime/City Centre Persistent Offenders (IOM)
