Secretary of State for the Home Department (Theresa May): I
am later today (22 May) publishing 'Putting
victims first – more effective responses to antisocial behaviour'. It sets
out the government's plans to deliver on the commitment to introduce more
effective measures to tackle antisocial behaviour, and puts them in the wider
context of the our reforms to the policing and criminal justice landscape and
work to turn round the lives of the most troubled families. The mistake of the past was to think that the
government could tackle antisocial behaviour itself. However, this is a
fundamentally local problem that looks and feels different in every area and to
every victim. Local agencies should respond to the priorities of the
communities they serve, not to those imposed from Whitehall . The government does, however, have
a crucial role in supporting local areas. We will do that by:
*focusing the
response to anti-social behaviour on the needs of victims
*empowering
communities to get involved in tackling anti-social behaviour
*ensuring
professionals are able to protect the public
*focusing on
long-term solutions
