The Prime Minister is set to reveal a new plan to clamp down on anti-social behaviour 'once and for all'
Anti-social behaviour offenders will be put to work in jumpsuits or hi-vis jackets to clean up their crimes within 48 hours of being handed punishments, Rishi Sunak will announce.
It is set to include new funding for police and crime commissioners to ensure those responsible for offences that blight communities are punished as soon as possible - and possibly within 48 hours. If their anti-social activity has already been removed or repaired, they will instead be assigned projects to assist their community in other ways. Ministers have pledged that victims and affected communities will get a say in deciding what type of punishment or consequences offenders should face, alongside input from local PCCs.
According to Government figures, last year saw 1,500 offenders spend almost 10,000 hours on 300 community clean-up projects, with plans to double that this year. Steve Reed, Labour’s shadow justice secretary, said cuts to neighbourhood policing had allowed offenders to “get away without punishment”.
