Report Summary
This is the Scottish Police Authority's first topical webinar on 29th May 2025 on the theme of tackling antisocial behaviour. This was supported by colleagues from the Scottish Community Safety Network.
During the session, attendees interrogated what is known, or what is thought to be known, about the current picture on antisocial behaviour in Scotland in terms of both current data trends, public opinion and its strategic positioning within the partnership landscape.
The findings and recommendations from the recently commissioned Independent Working Group on Antisocial Behaviour in Scotland were also explored and looked specifically at questions around data and information sharing and the need for national strategic governance.
