This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Legislate to Make Anti-Social Behaviour a crime with suitable punishment.
Parents should teach their children, right from wrong, respect for others. Break the rules and children should be sent to special centers to be taught basic values. We MUST increase police numbers on the streets. Give Local Authorities powers to take immediate action, the system now, is to slow.
More details
Elderly and vulnerable people suffer years of Anti-Social Behaviour. Afraid to leave their homes, for fear of assault or abuse by young people. Their health suffers, they become prisoners in their own homes. Their property can be attacked and damaged. Police can try to give them support, but because of stretched resources, they can only do so much. Businesses suffer, loss of trade, damage to their property, theft, loss of staff because of abuse and assault. The problem is getting out of control.
