The term ASB encompasses a wide range of behaviours that cause nuisance and harm to others. We share responsibility with our partners to tackle ASB at a local level.

• Multi- agency meetings u2013supporting multi-agency plans to divert youth ASB/criminality and identify environmental factors associated with ASB
• Close liaison with safer schools departments to educate and engage with school aged children.
• Targeted patrols of hot spot locations to tackle ASB.
• Effective use of the consequence scheme to target / sanction key ASB youth nominals with a view to applying for Acceptable Behaviour Contracts and ultimately civil remedies i.e ASBI etc.
• Identifying those at most risk of causing harm focussing on the use of knives and weapons amongst young people and working to divert this behaviour.
