We deal primarily with 'people' issues and behaviour that alarms, harasses or distresses other people.

We focus on investigating the anti-social behaviour in question and the underlying causes and seeking solutions to stop it.

This can include ensuring support is provided to vulnerable residents as well as helping perperators to prevent their behaviour becoming a problem for other people.

If necessary, we will gather evidence and take action through the courts which could result in fines, imprisonment or eviction of tenants if the behaviour does not stop.

Most of the work undertaken by the team requires us to work closely with other agencies and council services such as the Metropolitan Police, Social Landlords and Environmental Health Officers.  

Issues which the team cover include:

• Disorder and anti-social behaviour from gangs/groups of people
• Nuisance neighbours
• Harassment including race hate crime and homophobic harassment
• Nuisance behaviour in public areas such as threats, graffiti, damage to property
• Crack houses and drug-related anti-social behaviour
• Street prostitution and related anti-social behaviour
