The Anti-Social Behaviour Case Review (also known as the ‘Community Trigger’) was introduced by the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 in order to provide a statutory ‘safety net’ for those victims of anti-social behaviour who do not feel they have received a satisfactory response to their complaints about anti-social behaviour.
An ASB Case review gives victims of persistent anti-social behaviour the right to request a multi-agency review of their case where the required threshold has been met. The aim of an ASB Case Review is for agencies to come together to review a case and create a joined-up plan for how they can work together to prevent the anti-social behaviour continuing. In Cornwall, the agency responsible for facilitating the ASB Case Review process is Cornwall Council.
