Government clamps down on anti social behaviour
The government are piloting hotspot police patrolling in a bid to clamp down on anti social behaviour. Home Office Minister Laura Farris said the government saw excellent results after piloting hotspot patrolling in various areas across the UK. "All the data supports our decision now to roll that out across all 43 police forces in England and Wales because we're confident it will drive down anti social behaviour which really affects so many communities," Ms Farris said.
