<p>We recognise the impact that anti-social behaviour can have on victims, which is
why we reformed the powers available to tackle it through the Anti-social Behaviour,
Crime and Policing Act 2014. The Act provides police and local agencies with a range
of flexible tools and powers that they can use to respond quickly and effectively
to anti-social behaviour.</p><p>Strengthening police numbers is a priority for the
Government. Our commitment to recruit 20,000 additional police officers over the next
three years will assist Police and Crime Commissioners and Chief Constables to deploy
resources to tackle incidents of anti-social behaviour and crime as they see fit.
South Yorkshire Police have a year 1 recruitment target of 151</p><p>The powers are
deliberately local in nature, and it is for local agencies to determine whether their
use is appropriate in the circumstances. We keep anti-social behaviour policy under
review through the Anti-social Behaviour Strategic Board which brings together key
partners.</p>
