Find out what an anti-social behaviour (ASB) and hate incident case review is and how to start your application.
About the anti-social behaviour (ASB) case review
If you've reported anti-social behaviour or a hate incident, you can ask for a case review. This is where agencies review their response to your report.
Use the ASB case review if you're not satisfied with their response and have reported 3 separate incidents within the past 6 months to:
- the police
- the council
- your housing provider
You can activate a review on behalf of someone else if you have their written consent.
If you meet the threshold for a case review, a review meeting will take place.
The Community Safety Partnership will invite you a meeting. You can tell the agency how you were affected by the incident and what you would like to happen to put things right. An action plan will be agreed and you'll be kept updated on the progress of that plan.
The ASB case review is not a complaints procedure. It is a process that gives you the right to request a review of a reported incident where you're dissatisfied with the response.
New procedure for case reviews
In November 2021 the Community Safety Partnership team reviewed the ASB case review procedure.
This was in response to:
- the Victim Commissioners report 'Anti-Social Behaviour: Living a Nightmare'
- updated Home Office Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 practitioners’ guidance
Since November 2021, Brighton & Hove residents have:
- activated the ASB case review 57 times
- 34 occasions did not meet the threshold for a case review
- 23 cases met the threshold - the reviewing officer made recommendations to resolve each case
