PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Anti-social Behaviour: Enfield North (19 October 2021)

The Government is committed to tackling and preventing anti-social behaviour (ASB). We know the serious impact that persistent ASB can have on both individuals and communities.

The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 provides a range of flexible tools and powers to local agencies to tackle anti-social behaviour. Local areas decide how best to deploy these powers depending on the specific circumstances. As the powers are local in nature, the Home Office only collects data at Police Force Area level and not at lower levels of geography.

The Office for National Statistics annually publishes anti-social behaviour incidents reported to the police by Police Force Area. The latest available data for year to March 2021 can be found here:
