<p>The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 provides the police and
local authorities with a range of flexible powers that they can use to tackle anti-social
behaviour. It is a matter for the relevant agencies in Barnsley, as in other areas,
to decide when it is appropriate to make use of these powers.</p><p>The Home Office
published refreshed statutory guidance for frontline professionals on the use of the
statutory powers in December 2017. The guidance is available to the police and local
authorities and it will assist them in addressing anti-social behaviour.</p>
