Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act

The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 received royal assent on 13 March 2014.

Contents

The act will introduce simpler, more effective powers to tackle anti-social behaviour that provide better protection for victims and communities.

The new community trigger and community remedy will empower victims and communities, giving them a greater say in how agencies respond to complaints of anti-social behaviour and in out-of-court sanctions for offenders.

The act will also:

• tackle irresponsible dog ownership and the use of illegal firearms by gangs and organised criminal groups
• strengthen the protection afforded to the victims of forced marriage and those at risk of sexual harm
• enhance the professional capabilities and integrity of the police
• amend the port and border security powers in Schedule 7 to the Terrorism Act 2000, to ensure that they strike the right balance between the need to protect public safety and the protection of individual freedoms
• amend the Extradition Act 2003 to strengthen public confidence in, and the operational effectiveness of, our extradition arrangements
