Intimidation, drunkenness, begging, public drug dealing, street prostitution and kerb-crawling
are all street problems that fall under the definition of anti-social behaviour.
What's we're doing about street problems
We've introduced a range of new initiatives and have encouraged the use of existing powers to
combat these issues.
New initiatives
-
suspension and revocation of licences where there are problems with anti-social drinking
-
confiscation of alcohol from underage drinkers by police
-
allowing local authorities to designate places where drinking in public is forbidden
-
allowing the police to designate areas where they can disperse groups who are or may act anti-socially
-
fines of £50 or £80 for a range of disorder-related offences
-
use of anti-social behavior orders (ASBOs) and injunctions to curb the behaviour of the anti-social
minority
-
parenting orders, which require parents to take responsibility for their child(ren)’s actions
