<p>The Government has not made an assessment. Agencies have strong powers for tackling
anti-social behaviour through the Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act, requiring
landlords to deal with nuisance.</p><p>Residents affected can request from their Local
Authority an Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review - also called Community Trigger – in
which they can insist on a multi-agency review of their case if they have reported
the problem three times in the past six months and yet the problem has not yet been
resolved</p><p>Any incidence of abuse or violence should be reported to the police.
The police and local authorities have a significant range of powers and we expect
these to be used, putting the needs of victims at the heart of their response, promptly
and proportionately.</p>
