Recommendation
We welcome the fact that the Bill provides for more data on ASB and responses to it be shared with the Secretary of State. The Government should go further, however, and now comply with the Victims’ Commissioner’s request to carry out a review of all existing civil legal tools designed to protect the public from anti-social behaviour to see if they are fit for purpose. If they are introduced, the use of respect orders and their compliance with human rights standards must be kept under careful review – with the Home Office reporting to Parliament on these matters within 18 months of the Bill coming into force.
