The Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act was given royal assent in March 2014 and introduced two new measures to tackle Anti-Social Behaviour. The two measures were the Community Remedy and the Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Case Review.
What is the ASB case review?
The ASB case review gives victims of Anti-Social Behaviour the opportunity to request a case review if they feel that no action or inadequate action has been taken by the local public bodies.
Who can request a ASB case review?
A review can be made by the victim or on behalf of the victim by a family member, carer, MP or councillor.
When can an application be made?
A request for a case review can be made if the trigger threshold has been met. The threshold in the North Wales Police area is 3 incidents within a 6 months period. All incidents must have occurred within 1 month of the incident being reported. The application must be made to the relevant public body that has received the 3 reports.
