Alongside Victim Care Merseyside, the Police Commissioner supports victims through the use of anti-social behaviour powers.
As part of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, new powers were introduced which shape the way the police, local authorities, health partners and social housing providers respond to anti-social behaviour (ASB).
The reforms are designed to empower victims of ASB and give them a say on how perpetrators are punished. Please use the links below to find out more about these key new powers, and how together, Merseyside will tackle ASB:
