Crackdown On Anti-Social Behaviour
02-Jul-09
Alan Johnson is to launch a new crackdown on anti-social behaviour in his first speech on crime as Home Secretary...


Mr Johnson will set out details of a website recording what councils are doing to tackle the problem.

The site will show the public how many yobs have been hit with anti-social behaviour orders, how many parents have been given parenting orders and how many closure orders have been issued against crack dens.

It is hoped the site will help the public hold town halls to account over what steps they are taking to deal with the issue.

Earlier this month Mr Johnson said the Government had been guilty of "coasting" on anti-social behaviour issues and pledged to redouble its efforts.

He said: "People will be able to see how many crack houses have been closed, how many antisocial behaviour orders have been issued and how many parenting orders have been issued."

He told The Times: "I want to ensure there is particular emphasis on antisocial behaviour.

"I think we have done an awful lot on that and we have kind of coasted a bit.

"What I think we have done is rested on our laurels. We need a new drive on antisocial behaviour."

Mr Johnson, who took over from Jacqui Smith earlier this month, also said people on housing estates felt ignored by the authorities.
