Abstract
The role of agencies of control working in collaboration to respond to local issues of anti-social behaviour (ASB) has been a common practice since the 1990s. Although there are variations in the degrees to which these collaborative regimes have been implemented and engaged with, there exist quite profound consequences for the styles and cultures of agencies involved in such practices and, moreover, implications for the individuals on the receiving ends of such intervention. This study has sought to explore these practices in detail from the perspectives of a host of community agencies, including explaining the shared beliefs and values regarding ways of responding to young people and families ‘at risk’ and directly engaged in ASB.
