Aims

Capita’s National Conference: What Next for Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour? brings together influential national and local stakeholders to address the review into ASB powers, the impact of the response to the riots and exciting innovations in provision, including new family recovery pilots funded on a payment by results basis.

Methods and legal recourse for tackling Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) have been under government scrutiny and review in the past year. The Summer’s riots have increased public demands for tougher sentencing and evictions for perpetrators, better protection for vulnerable victims, while at the same time, demonstrating how resilient communities can mitigate the worst effects of ASB. Faster, more flexible response to ASB offences, and more accountability to the communities affected, are now high on the political agenda.

This topical event brings you fresh learning informed by the strategic and practical priorities shaping your day to day work, including:

• Input from two Home Office ASB pilot Police Forces
• A social housing provider's award winning crime reduction project
• Legal expertise on the outcome of major government consultations
• A local authority talking about its new Social Impact Bond ASB pilot
• Innovative case studies addressing cost-effective 'Big Society' initiatives
• Youth crime prevention programmes looking at causal issues and the leadership communities can adopt to combat ASB sustainably

Benefits of attending
