Home Office Crime & ASB Consultation

The Home Office has unveiled its plans for policing the Big Society in a new consultation document. The document "Policing in the 21st Century: Reconnecting police and the people" outlines how the government intends to cut bureaucracy and democratise policing in England and Wales. The role for social landlords in the new vision is for them to take part in discussions about local issues - as neighbourhood managers on the front line and members of CSPs (Crime and Safety Partnerships) at a strategic level. The consultation makes no mention of the direct role that social landlords and local authorities play in tackling ASB. Download the consultation documents from the Home Office website.
