answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2022 answer text <p>The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 provides the police and local authorities with flexible tools and powers they can use to respond quickly and effectively to anti-social behaviour (ASB). The powers in the 2014 Act are local in nature, and it is for local agencies to determine whether their use is appropriate in the specific circumstances.</p><p>It is for Chief Constables and PCCs, as operational leaders and elected local representatives, to decide how best to respond to local crime priorities, but to help ensure that the police have the resources they need, we have given them the biggest funding increase in a decade and are recruiting 20,000 additional officers by March 2023, which provides extra resource to protect the public and keep us safe.</p><p>The Home Office announced in March this year that ASB would be one of the primary crime and issue types being targeted in the fourth and fifth rounds of the Safer Streets Fund. This is a total of £150m over two rounds which aims to support local areas in preventing and tackling neighbourhood crimes, ASB and violence against women and girls. As part of this, the Home Office welcomes innovative bids relating to community-based projects and early intervention.</p><p>Violence Reduction Units are delivering a range of early intervention and prevention programmes to divert people away from a life of crime, and have reached 100,000 young people in year one alone. In addition, we are providing £200m through the 10-year Youth Endowment Fund to prevent a cohort of children and young people at highest risk of involvement in serious violence from becoming involved in crime and violence, including reoffending; to reduce the numbers of children and young people becoming perpetrators and victims of crime; and to reduce offending and re-offending in the target cohort across other crime types.</p><p>Also, the Government is investing £560 million in youth services in England over the next 3 years, including the Youth Investment Fund, to transform the Government’s offer for young people and level up opportunities right across the country.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean grouped question UIN 9118 question first answered 10/06/2022 13:25:54 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean
