I believe that it is down to each individual Police Authority as to their stance on anti-social behaviour. I think you will be pleased that TVP will and DO respond to anti-social behaviour and take it very seriously. Please see the attached link http://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/pub-sear...ocial+BehaviourDespite what other people on here have said TVP are a good and effective Police Authority who try hard to do what the public want. Their performance statistics show that they are consistantly performing at or above the required levels. I am not however a Police Officer so I would also be interested in their views on this matter.

Thanks for that, I am reassured that at least our Force are still looking out for us regarding ASB. Bit of a worry though as these sort of ideas tend to be justified as legitimate cut backs when Government funding gets difficult.

I agree it down to individual police commanders. There was a documentary on PCSO's and he was saying about procedure that is is down to the individual police force how they go about their business. Some counties have a no tolerance policy towards Anti social behaviour and others just as the main poster suggested.

QUOTE (ossy1 @ Sep 28 2009, 12:34 PM) Did you read the daily Mail report by chance?
I think the report was out of context to what was actually meant, albeit I cannot comment on that because I didnt say it.
Yes call the police for ASB, but I think what was meant was the long term issues, i.e neighbours who don't get on, people whos children run riot around the estate etc should also have involvement from the council.
I know that West Berkshire council have done a lot of work in the Newbury area moving family's that cause no end of greif to their areas. I think this is how the comments are meant. Hi Ossy, yes it was the Mail and I have seen two separate stories. I know the Mail can be controversial but I am not seeing any puplic contradiction, explanation or denial by a Police representative which is why I raised the issue. But thanks for the above and I understand.

Could someone explain to me in words of one syllable what the blankety blank use is re-locating problems families . Wherever they live they are going to be a nuisance , so why inflict suffering on to others , surely the answer is to have them put down . ( Bit like an uncontrollable dog ). Bet we wouldn't get to much trouble then , which would prove that they can control their actions but they choose not to because it's to easy .

QUOTE (GMR @ Sep 28 2009, 02:28 PM) It is certainly true that the papers can lie (they all do it) but if they say something that isn't true (but also gets the backs up of their readership) shouldn't they be suing the paper for misleading the public. After all they got a code of conduct (i.e. the papers) . I don't think it's a lie, rather a reword of the original statement. After all putting a few catchy words on the front page does make people buy!! As for not seeing any of the public contradiction or response from the police 1) public never contradict bad press, and the daily mail certainly don't print to much of it. (they never publish my comments)!!! and 2) It is rare that the police actually stick up for themselves it just goes over our heads and we keep on banging our heads against the wall! Lordtup, sometimes neighbour problems are just down to a clash of personality, if moved they can get on well with their new neighbours and live a peacful life!!

I know it's not your Force and so I guess you may not want to comment but the article, in the Mail again, about the Police failing to respond to 33 calls for help by the lady who killed herself and her daughter is pretty damning and supported by the roasting that the Police's council got at the inquest. There does seem to be a consistent theme of no reponse to ASB issues emerging.

People complain they are playing football?? I'm sure some folk would have them locked in cages until they got to middle age!!

Incidentally if kids were playing football in my street I would complain as not only would kicking the ball inadvertantly against the cars in the street possibly damage them the kids also stand the risk of getting run over.

I'm sure some folk would have them locked in cages until they got to middle age!! I agree that people over react but isn't that usually a product of fear? Fear of the reputation of those that actually are bad. We can see this in other areas; English football hooligans, Muslims bombers, Christian extremists extra. The few tarnish the rest. But saying that there is a real serious problem with yobs and anti social behaviour. So much so that I believe - according to the radio - that when Brown gives his speech today at the conference he is mainly going to talk about anti-social behaviour and how to deal with it.
Hopefully - but sadly - this women's death (including her daughters) will make this government sit up and take notice. After all Blair did come into power saying "tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime" and then brought in the European Human Rights laws to protect the yobs, rather than the innocent (and that is how it has come over in most cases, not all, but most).

I think it is too late for Gordon Brown and this bankrupt government to start to take notice of what the people of this Country have been asking for. They have missed the boat due to their support of the party and it's members above the needs and concerns of the people and the Country. Speeches supporting stronger deterents for ASB and control of Yobs will be too little, too late as far as I am concerned.
