Overview
Anti-social behaviour (ASB) is the main reason people do not feel safe in their local area, with the CSEW reporting that around 34% of respondents personally witnessed or experienced antisocial behaviour in their local area in the year ending September 2023.
To deal with ASB, the police, local authorities and other local partners must work in collaboration to ensure reparative justice, encourage orderly behaviour, engage with perpetrators and provide effective preventative measures and support.
This event is designed for professionals dealing with anti-social behaviour (ASB) cases. Learn to navigate the often challenging balance between providing support and implementing enforcement, especially when dealing with individuals facing mental health issues or other vulnerabilities.
With contributions from experienced ASB professionals and legal experts, this event will empower you to make informed, balanced decisions that improve outcomes for both individuals and communities. This event equips you with the tools to balance compassion with control, ensuring you can protect communities while supporting those most in need.
