Rishi Sunak vows crackdown on rebellious behaviour by people
Under new rules by Rishi Sunak, people who sabotage public areas must fix the damage they cause within 48 hours of being given an order.
Communities will even have a say on how lawbreakers are punished, No 10 said.
Rishi Sunak finds solutions for rebellious behaviour in people:
The pilot, covering 10 sites, seeks to show the public that such acts are “quickly and visibly” disciplined. But Labour blamed the government for “slashing” neighbourhood protecting and trying to copy their strategy on “tough community payback.”
The pilot includes part of a crackdown on anti-social conduct, which Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will report on Monday. Mr Sunak expects the efforts will stamp out the plague of anti-social behaviour “once and for all.”
The new rules will see police and crime commissioners (PCCs) provided funding to assure people liable for crimes such as graffiti and destruction start repair work as soon as possible.

Criminals will be made to wear jumpsuits or hi-vis jackets and work under control to be visible to members of the public to ensure them “justice is being done.”
In issues where damage has already been cleaned up, they will be given other tasks which help their local area, such as litter selection or volunteering in stores. More detail on where the pilots will take place and how much it will cost is anticipated to be set out in the future.
It will be moved out across England and Wales in 2024.
It arrives on the heels of a highly crucial report into the Metropolitan Police by Baroness Casey, which mentioned abstinence as a factor behind the decline of the London force’s frontline policing.
The report, issued earlier this week, said London no longer has an active community policing service, such units have been “destroyed”, and the force has become “less related and less accountable”.
