Those found committing antisocial behaviour will be made to repair the damage they caused where possible, such as by picking up litter and removing graffiti
A scheme that would see perpetrators of antisocial behaviour be visibly punished is to be rolled out in Nottinghamshire. The county is one of 16 areas across England and Wales that will trial of 'Immediate Justice' in an attempt by the government to tackle the crime.
Meanwhile, Leah Ridgeway, a university lecturer from Chilwell, said it was a "ridiculous" scheme designed to make headlines. "It would be far better if money was better spent on the roots of anti-social behaviour, like investing in community centres," said the 38-year-old. Darren Henry, Conservative MP for Broxtowe, said he was delighted that Nottinghamshire was included in the scheme. "I have had a number of people contact me about anti-social behaviour in Beeston, mainly caused by youngsters travelling on the tram and congregating in Beeston," he said.
