What the CMARAC aims to do
The CMARC aims to identify the highest risk and most complex cases of antisocial behaviour and find solutions to them.
This may include issues such as cuckooing, hoarding, hate crime, mental health issues, neighbour disputes, repeat victims or perpetrators, and potential cases for an antisocial behaviour review.
The primary focus of the CMARAC is to:
- safeguard individuals from crime and antisocial behaviour
- prevent repeat victimisation
- identify and deal with perpetrators
- reduce re-offending.
