Anti-social behaviour 'turns lives upside down'
A Victims and Prisoners Bill is currently being debated in Parliament and tonight's Today Debate on Radio 4 at 8PM will consider one aspect of it.
The legislation largely applies to England and Wales but the issue is one that can disrupt lives everywhere. Campaigners say that anti-social behaviour should not be treated as neighbourly nuisance because it can mean people live in fear in their own homes.
It's a reality the Victims' Commissioner Helen Newlove knows all too well. Her husband, Garry, was attacked by a group of teenagers outside his home when he confronted them over vandalising cars. He died of his injuries. Today's Mishal Husain speaks to Baroness Newlove about what she wants to see happen.
