Swiftly responding to incidents of ASB and effectively using policing powers available to intervene - including powers of dispersal where the actions of individuals or groups impact their wider surroundings; which can lead to wider harm, including the misuse of public spaces or buildings, criminal damage or vandalism, for example graffiti or damage to public buildings.
Action taken:
•Police continue working with partners and youth organisations, including schools and colleges to identify opportunities for early intervention with individuals at risk of causing ASB, with many youngsters spoken to about how their behaviours affect the wider community.
