ASB Case Review
The ASB Case Review (previously known as the Community Trigger) is a powerful tool which allows victims to request action if they have reported multiple incidences of ASB but are unhappy with the response they received.
The review gives victims and communities the right to request a review of their case where a specific threshold is met. Applications will be reviewed by an independently chaired panel who will make recommendations for problem-solving the issue using the expertise of partner agencies.

Community Remedy
Community Remedy is designed to give victims of low-level crime and ASB a greater say in how offenders should be dealt with. It allows Police and relevant partners to deal with low-level crime and manage offenders within the community, in consultation with the victim.
Police officers and PCSOs will apply Community Remedies on a case-by-case basis using their professional judgment and discretion within a framework. The officer should ensure the victim understands the purpose of Community Remedy and knows they can choose not to be involved, however the final decision rests with the officer.
More information on Community Remedies can be found on our website here.
