The Government has made no assessment of the effectiveness of playing music in public spaces to deter anti-social behaviour. However, the Government has introduced a range of powers in the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. These powers are flexible and local in nature so that the police and local agencies are able to tackle anti-social behaviour the most effective way locally.
