To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how best practice on measures to combat antisocial behaviour is (a) assessed and (b) shared with others by her Department. (232301)

The Home Office antisocial behaviour ActionLine generates and evaluates case studies with the help of frontline practitioners on measures to combat antisocial behaviour. This information is available on the antisocial behaviour practitioner website:

www.respect.gov.uk

We also deliver regional workshops to help local practitioners make the best use of the available tools and powers.

In addition, the effective practice database on the crime reduction website contains over 40 examples of how agencies across England and Wales have used a problem solving approach to tackle antisocial behaviour in their areas:

The website is a highly used channel to communicate directly with crime reduction practitioners across a wide range of crime issues.
