The Scottish Government will undertake a major review of how various agencies and arms of Government work to tackle anti-social behaviour.
Scottish local authorities have not taken to Anti Social behaviour Orders in the same way as some English councils, most notably Manchester, have, and have shown themselves especially reluctant to apply for order on individual young people.
Launching the review, Minister for Community Safety Fergus Ewing said:
“The Antisocial Behaviour Act has now been in force for three years and in some areas is making a real difference to the quality of people's lives across Scotland. Now is an appropriate time to take a fresh look at the ASB strategy, to work with local government, the police and other key interests, to see where it can be strengthened and improved - and community involvement enhanced.
“The dispersal research found that the orders provided welcome respite to local communities. However, residents were clear that dispersal worked mainly as a short-term measure and they often wanted more permanent solutions.”
