<p>The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 (“the 2014 Act”) introduced
the anti-social behaviour (ASB) Case Review, also referred to as the ‘Community Trigger’,
in order to enhance local accountability. This is an important measure which gives
victims of persistent ASB the ability to request a formal case review by the relevant
bodies where a locally defined threshold is met.</p><p>The 2014 Act requires the relevant
bodies in a local government area to publish data on the ASB Case Review. Requiring
local areas to provide this information to central Government would place additional
burdens on the police, local authorities and other local agencies.</p><p>Use of the
ASB Case Review and other ASB powers is kept under review through the Home Office’s
Anti-social Behaviour Strategic Board which brings together a range of partners and
representatives from key agencies and Government departments.</p>
