Labour pledges police patrols in towns to tackle 'shocking rise' in antisocial behaviour
Neighbourhood police would patrol town centres with new powers to act against repeat antisocial behaviour offenders if Labour wins power.
It comes as recorded instances of criminal damage to shops, schools, leisure centres and businesses have increased by more than 30 per cent over the past year, Labour analysis found. Labour has pledged to introduce 'respect orders' which would create a new criminal offence for repeat adult antisocial behaviour offenders. Police and courts would be able to take rapid enforcement action under the plans.
“The next Labour government will put neighbourhood police back on the beat and make sure they have proper powers to act against repeat antisocial behaviour offenders. Our action plan will finally give communities the action and support they need.”
