Antisocial behaviour: independent working group

Overview

The Independent Working Group on Antisocial Behaviour was formed in November 2023. It has been set up to consider how effective our current approach is to understanding and preventing antisocial behaviour.  

We are aiming to develop a holistic, long term, strategic approach to improve the lives of communities across Scotland. This will include considering whether a more preventative approach would be appropriate and how victims of antisocial behaviour are supported.
