Policy Action Team 8 Report on Anti-Social Behaviour

http://www.cabinet-office.gov.uk/seu/2000/pat8/06.htm

This report made a number of recommendations on combating racial incidents, which have been accepted by Government.

They include Crime & Disorder Reduction Partnerships:

• establishing a ‘zero tolerance’ policy for racist actions by adopting the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry definition of a racist incident:

• including clear statements of intent to tackle racism in crime and disorder strategies and neighbourhood agreements;

• improving reporting & monitoring the problem; and

all tenancy agreements, introductory and starter tenancies should include ‘no harassment’ clauses and make clear the action that will be taken if they are breached.
