answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2022 answer text <p>The Government is committed to tackling and preventing anti-social behaviour (ASB). We know the serious impact that persistent anti-social behaviour can have on both individuals and communities.</p><p>We monitor the national statistics on ASB through police recorded crime incident data and the Crime Survey for England and Wales, which presents people’s perceptions of levels of ASB. Given the localised nature of ASB, we do not currently plan to introduce a national standard for the reporting of ASB or create a national database.</p><p>We do, however, keep ASB under review through the Anti-social Behaviour Strategic Board which brings together a range of partners from key agencies and other Government departments to discuss ASB issues and share best practice. We have recently published multi-agency principles, endorsed by the Board, which seek to describe a consistent approach to addressing ASB in local communities and to ensure a strong and effective partnership response to anti-social behaviour, including local reporting and referral pathways.</p><p>Recommendations from Part Two of the Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Review were published on Monday 7 March 2022. The overall package strengthens and expands the role of PCCs. We want to ensure that PCCs have sufficient tools and levers to more effectively scrutinise and challenge partnership activity on ASB. To do this, PCCs should be able to bring partners together on ASB, direct local ASB strategy and request local data on ASB.</p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Jeremy Quin grouped question UIN 45157 45158 question first answered 20/09/2022 17:24:03 answering member 4507 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin

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 9120 question first answered 10/06/2022 13:25:54 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean

Last year the Beating Crime Plan laid out the Government's plan for tackling crime and ASB and committed to working with local agencies and partners to drive down ASB using the full range of powers and tools in the Act. It is for local areas to decide how best to deploy these powers depending on the specific circumstances.</p><p>The Safer Streets Fund has now allocated £70 million through three funds, the main purpose of which is to reduce neighbourhood and acquisitive crimes, but many of the projects will also help to improve public safety and tackle antisocial behaviour.</p><p>Local authorities are best placed to know the priorities in their own areas and have discretion to target funding according to local need.</p><p>The provisional Local Government Finance Settlement for 2022-23 makes available an additional £3.5 billion to councils, including funding for adult social care reform. This is an increase in local authority funding for 2022-23 of over 4% in real terms, which will ensure councils across the country have the resources they need to deliver key services. In total, we expect Core Spending Power to rise from £50.4 billion in 2021-22 to up to £53.9 billion in 2022-23.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 03/02/2022 17:48:05 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien
