Anti-social behaviour (ASB) and hate incident case review
What an anti-social behaviour (ASB) and hate incident case review is and how to complete a referral form.
About the Anti-social behaviour (ASB) case review
If you've reported anti-social behaviour or a hate incident, you can ask for a case review. This is where agencies review their response to your report.
Use the ASB case review if you're not satisfied with their response and have reported 3 separate incidents within the past 6 months to:
the police
the council
your housing provider
You can activate a review on behalf of someone else if you have their written consent.
If you meet the threshold for a case review, a review meeting will take place.
The Community Safety Partnership will invite you a meeting. You can tell the agency how you were affected by the incident and what you would like to happen to put things right. An action plan will be agreed and you'll be kept updated on the progress of that plan.
The ASB case review is not a complaints procedure. It is a process that gives you the right to request a review of a reported incident where you're dissatisfied with the response.
Between November 2014 and October 2021 Brighton & Hove residents have:
activated 59 case reviews
4 of these cases were an inappropriate activation of the ASB case review
3 cases met the threshold and a full case review took place. The reviewing officer made recommendations to resolve each case.

What you can do if you don't want to report your concern now
Talking to a neighbour or someone else in your community about your concerns can help.
You can raise your concern at your Local Action Team, community or resident association meeting. Your neighbourhood police officer, police community support officer or a community safety officer is often at these meetings.
