Anti-social behaviour can affect a person’s physical and mental health. Neighbourhoods with high crime and disorder rates have correspondingly high health needs.
Health services have a role to play in tackling anti-social behaviour at a strategic level – for example in analysing admissions to accident and emergency departments to determine alcohol fuelled violence hotspots – and at a local level – providing health care for victims, witnesses and perpetrators of anti-social behaviour.
This is an elected representative charged with securing efficient and effective policing of a police area in England and Wales. The first incumbents were elected on 15 November 2012. There is no PCC for London, instead covered by the Metropolitan Police Service and the City of London Police.

See your Council website for information on who your local Councillor is and how to contact them. Your local library will also have this information.

ASB Help will always endeavour to work collaboratively with practitioners and partner agencies across England and Wales to promote and attain the best possible outcome for the victim. It is our hope that our expertise and experience will be used as an asset by practitioners in all cases that we consult on, however it must be noted that we do NOT have jurisdiction over local agencies and cannot compel partners to undertake specific action.
We will continue to offer objective advice to victims and practitioners alike and hope that in doing so we can promote best practice in ASB case management as well as raising awareness of victims rights.
