Anti-Social
Behaviour- Anti-social Behaviour covers a whole
complex of thoughtless, inconsiderate or malicious activity and has
perhaps the greatest potential to blight the quality of community
life.
Enforcement -
Community Safety team is responsible for tackling anti-social
behaviour (ASB) and environmental crime in the
town. Investigate complaints of ASB and work closely with
other Council departments and external partners such as the Police
to bring about a prompt resolution to problems.
Environmental Crime -
(dog fouling, littering, fly-tips etc.) is also enforced by this
team, with a strong line taken against offenders, including the
issuing of on the spot fixed penalty notices.
CCTV
– the team
is responsible for the town's CCTV systems which provide a useful
tool in the gathering of evidence and the deterrence against crime
and disorder.
Challenge & Support - The Harlow Challenge
and Support Project is designed to ensure that a co-ordinated
approach is taken to the delivery of support alongside the use of
anti-social behaviour tools and powers on young people.
Hate Crime -
Hatred is a strong term that goes beyond simply causing offence or
hostility. Hate crime is any criminal offence committed against a
person or property that is motivated by an offender's hatred of
someone.
