ASB case reviews
The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 includes a measure which is designed to give victims and communities a say in the way anti-social behaviour is dealt with. The ASB case review gives victims the ability to request a multi-agency case review, if certain criteria are met. You can see data below for how many reviews have been requested in Tamworth since the measure was introduced.
