Antisocial Behaviour

Volume 470: debated on Tuesday 22 January 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many incidents of antisocial behaviour were reported to the Respect Task Force in each of the last three years. (168506)

The Home Office does not record incidents of antisocial behaviour. Any such incidents are usually reported to the police, local authority, landlord or other frontline agency public whose task it is to deal directly with that problem. However, in common with many other Departments—for example the Department for Communities and Local Government and the Ministry of Justice—we do receive representations from members of the public, directly or through their Member of Parliament, about our policies in the field of antisocial behaviour. We received over 2,000 such letters and e-mails in the three years from 2005 to 2007.
