Tackling anti-social behaviour: Action Frameworks

Introduction

An Action Framework to guide governing bodies/housing committee members, residents and social housing practitioners through the process of tackling anti-social behaviour.

Description

This document contains an Action Framework for tackling anti-social behaviour consisting of two modules – one aimed at governing bodies/housing committee members and residents and the other aimed at social housing practitioners.

The frameworks are intended to be practical tools, taking stakeholders through the core tasks of understanding and effectively working with others to tackle the problems caused by anti-social behaviour in an area.

Both modules consist of key questions, practical fact sheets, case studies, activities and links to websites providing other supporting material.

Methodology

Draws on evaluations into 'what works'.

Conclusions

There are seven core tasks in tackling anti-social behaviour:

Identifying the nature of the problem.
Recognising and monitoring both individual complaints and organisational policy and practice.
Developing preventative measures
Develop effective multi-agency partnerships
Develop specialist support and training
Investigations and witness support measures
Taking effective pre-legal and legal action
