Anti-social Behaviour and Crime
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to tackle (a) antisocial behaviour, (b) vandalism, (c) noise disturbances and (d) public disorder (i) nationally and (ii) in Dudley constituency.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
Tackling anti-social behaviour is a top priority for this Government, and a key part of our Safer Streets Mission to take back our streets.
We will put thousands of neighbourhood police and community support officers into local communities so that residents have a named officer they can turn to when things go wrong.
We will crack down on those causing havoc on our high streets by introducing tougher powers via a Crime and Policing Bill, including a new Respect Order to tackle repeat offending.
