15th Annual Crime and Anti-Social Behaviour Conference
Tuesday 27th September 2011 |
 |
Sponsored by:
The new landscape for tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB) is becoming clearer and will mean a much changed operating environment for housing organisations, local authorities, Community Safety Partnerships, as well as the police and the criminal justice system.
The new approach calls for citizens to take a larger role in tackling ASB, better partnership working at a neighbourhood level and more support for victims. ASB 'tools and powers' reform proposals consulted on earlier in the year are expected to necessitate changes on a significant scale. In addition, the Department for Communities and Local Government will be consulting on proposals for mandatory powers for possession in eviction cases. The Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill promises a new approach to fighting crime, including proposals for directly elected Police and Crime Commissioners.
The conference will discuss implications of these proposals, as well as highlighting innovative and effective practice.
