Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act

A vote to support means

• —Supporting this Act means backing stronger tools to tackle anti-social behaviour like noise complaints, street harassment, and rowdy behaviour that affects communities. Supporters believe it gives police and councils faster ways to stop problem behaviour and makes neighbourhoods safer and more pleasant for residents.

A vote to oppose means

• —Critics worry the Act gives authorities too much power to stop people without enough checks, which could unfairly target certain groups. They're also concerned it removes some legal protections people normally have, and that vague terms like 'anti-social behaviour' could be used too broadly.
