What is the ASB Case Review threshold?
Individual – 3 complaints within a 6 month period. The complainant will be reporting behaviour that is causing harassment, alarm or distress to them or someone within their household and they think no action has been taken or are not satisfied with the action already taken.
Group- 5 individuals within a local community have separately reported similar incidents of anti social behaviour to a member of the community safety partnership. They must all think that no action has been taken or are not satisfied with the action already taken.
Please note: The individual acting on behalf of the group must have the consent from all of the other individuals to initiate the ASB Case Review.
To meet the criteria in all cases, incidents need to have:
- caused harassment, alarm or distress
- been logged within one month of the incident
- the last reported incident occurred within the previous six months.

What will happen?
The information will be forwarded to the relevant local authority.
If the ASB Case Review threshold is met agencies will share information, review what action has already been taken and decide if additional actions are appropriate or possible.
The ASB Case Review is to request a review of an anti social behaviour case. If an individual would like to report a new incident of anti social behaviour they should do this by:
- Reporting it to Hampshire Constabulary non emergency number 101
- Report online at www.winchester.gov.uk
