Community Trigger Requests
Victims and communities experiencing Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) can request a review of their case to bring agencies together to find a solution.
This is known as a Community Trigger, or an Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Case Review.
It is an important safety net for victims and communities experiencing anti-social behaviour.
