| Consultation summary and background | Community safety partners in South Lanarkshire have a strong established history of working together to tackle anti-social behaviour. The purpose of this document is to set out partners shared understanding of anti-social behaviour, the priorities that require to be addressed and the actions that will be taken over the next five years to help prevent and tackle anti-social behaviour. Anti-social behaviour is a complex, multi-faceted issue and requires a strong partnership approach to prevention, intervention and enforcement where necessary. Perceptions, experiences, individual circumstances and vulnerabilities can impact on victims of anti-social behaviour, perpetrators and also the wider community. The council adopt a person-centred approach encompassing trauma informed practice, focusing on prevention of anti-social behaviour, early and effective interventions and robust enforcement where necessary; being particularly mindful that if left unchecked, anti-social behaviour can escalate into more serious acts of criminality or disorder. This strategy centres around four areas to respond to anti-social behaviour:- • Prevention • Intervention • Enforcement • Rehabilitation |
