Officers along with Erewash Borough Council Community Safety Partnership had meetings with several youths yesterday who attended Long Eaton Police Station with their parents following multiple issues of ASB in Long Eaton Town centre, specifically around fast food and retail premises within the town. The youths were all issued and signed up to Acceptable Behaviour Contracts (ABC's) outlining what is and what is not acceptable behaviour and outlined specific Terms and Conditions that must be met.

These ABC's are issued following multiple formal Anti Social Behaviour warnings being issued to an individual and they form part of our toolbox to help tackle ASB. We work using different informal methods that will reduce or stop the anti-social behaviour but failure to comply can and will lead to legal action being taken including such things as Civil Injunctions, Community Protection Notices and Criminal Convictions.

Thankfully, in Derbyshire, police reports of anti-social behaviour are lower than the England average, but we’re still committed to working with local communities to tackle these issues.

Tackling antisocial behaviour can be a complex issue, and one which requires input and action from more than just the police.

The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 aims to put victims first, giving power to local people and enabling professionals to find the best solutions for their local area.

The act provides the police, local authorities and other local agencies with flexible tools and powers that they can use to respond quickly and effectively to antisocial behaviour.

These include:

·  civil injunctions.

·  criminal behaviour orders.

·  public spaces protection orders.

·  community protection notices.

·  dispersal powers.

·  closure powers.

The act also includes measures such as the Community Remedy and antisocial behaviour case reviews which empower victims and communities to have a say in the outcome of their reports and hold agencies to account.
