Anti-social Behaviour
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Home Affairs, what information her Department holds on the impact of youth services on the number of reports of anti-social behaviour in the last ten years.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
The Government is committed to rolling out a new Young Futures programme, including a network of Young Futures Hubs which will bring together services to help improve the way young people can access the support they need.
We will be engaging with local communities, the police, charities, and other key partners to support the design of the hubs and explore options for their delivery. This will include considerations of the most suitable locations as well as how best to engage with those young people who would benefit most from their support.
Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) is also a top priority for this Government, and a key part of our Safer Streets Mission.
We will put thousands of neighbourhood police and community support officers into local communities, to tackle the crimes blighting our town centres and high streets, with tough new powers for the police to crack down on resistant offenders. This will be also key to disrupting youth ASB through engaged and visible neighbourhood officers.
The Home Office does not hold data on the impact of youth services on the number of reports of ASB.
