Police day of action in Bradford aims to reduce crime

10:00am Monday 18th March 2013 in News

Police in part of Bradford are planning to hold a day of action to combat anti-social behaviour.

The North Bradford neighbourhood policing team will hold the crime reduction day on Saturday.

The West Yorkshire Police exhibition van will be located at the car park of the ‘top’ Co-op on Allerton Road, Allerton, during the day and the car park of the Clayton Co-op during the late afternoon and early evening.

A number of officers from the NPT will be engaged on the operation to discuss anti-social behaviour with the public and offer a free car number plate screw fixing service among other things.

Don't blame the police, they're overworked because of the number of criminal scum, and their hands are tied by all the red tape the previous government introduced.

Then you have the toothless courts and a legal industry who are happy to get off the most evil scum on technicalities if the police mess up with the paperwork.procedures

Anti-social behaviour is open to many interpretations. Laws need to be clearly defined or all you have is an excuse that can be used by the police to arrest you when no other crime is being committed. For example is a tourettes sufferer being anti-social. As the government is succeeding in it's demonisation campaigns against the sick, disabled and unemployed I wonder how many times the reported anti-social behaviour is just a vindictive brainwashed sheep looking for vengence against the "scroungers"?

According to another T&A article the police will busy themselves with beggars and rough sleepers!

No disrespect to the Plice officers but the strategy planners need to actually tackle crime or am I being old fashioned again.

Isn't antisocial behaviour defined by the effect it has on others? So if the police receive reports of nose, violence, intimidation from people they'll act?

If that is the case then any police action would only be in response to specific complaints from individuals. The first line of enquiry should be into the motivations of the complainant. Are they a serial complainer, do other neighbours share their concerns ect. If there is a dispute between neighbours it's all to easy to make accusations of anti social behaviour then let the police do the harassment for you.
