New ASB powers are now live across England and Wales.

Including Respect Orders, these powers give agencies additional tools to tackle persistent anti-social behaviour and better support victims.

Today we remember Fiona and Francecca Pilkington. Their case exposed serious failings in support for victims of ASB and led to the creation of our charity.

Progress has been made, but too many victims still struggle to be heard and protected. There is still more to do.

In our latest blog, our Practitioner and Policy Manager, Mark, shares his experience of tackling wide-spread criminal damage.

It explores how targeted interventions and strong partnership working helped to tackle criminal damage and deliver positive outcomes for residents.

Let's clear up some confusion!

When the ASB statutory guidance talks about "complaints", it's referring to reports of anti-social behaviour received by agencies (rather than a formal service complaint).

[ASB Help @asbhelp]

We're delighted to welcome @East_Riding to The ASB PLEDGE!

By signing the Pledge, they're demonstrating their commitment to putting victims first and strengthening their ASB Case Review process.

Thank you for joining us on this journey.

[ASB Help @asbhelp]

We hear you. Victims tell us they fear retaliation if they report anti-social behaviour.

Everyone deserves to feel safe when speaking up against ASB.

[ASB Help @asbhelp]

Reporting antisocial behaviour can feel difficult, especially if you're worried about retaliation.

If you have concerns about your safety, let local agencies know when you report. Local agencies should take this into consideration and work with you to ensure your safety.

[ASB Help @asbhelp]

We'll never stop saying it: It is a great honour to be the national charity for victims of anti-social behaviour (ASB).

We will use any platform we can to raise awareness of how ASB is affecting millions of people across England and Wales.

[ASB Help @asbhelp]

This is the heart of our work.

Everything we do here at ASB Help is with the intention of driving better outcomes for victims of anti-social behaviour (ASB).

[Victims' Commissioner for England & Wales @VictimsComm]

We cannot hope to resolve the prison capacity crisis without addressing the crisis in our courts.

Court delays leave victims waiting years for justice while adding pressure to an overcrowded prison estate. It's a vicious cycle.

[ASB Help @asbhelp]

When people report anti-social behaviour, they deserve to know their experiences will be recognised.

Yet 84.2% of practitioners believe changes are needed to improve how victim experiences are considered in court.

[ASB Help @asbhelp]

Over half of practitioners in our latest research say courts focus primarily on perpetrator needs.

The findings raise important questions about support for people affected by ASB and why change is needed.
