We finished our project by publishing a Newsletter. All team members contributed with their reflections on the course. There was a bit of a rush at our last session when we completed our Log Book - we had been a wee bit dilatory with our log entries and had missed a coulpe of weeks!
All the learners agreed that the course was both enjoyable and rewarding with an increased awareness of antisocial behaviour and the efforts by the Police through their cooperation with various partners to address the problems created.

Statistics from Police
We have recently recived statistics from PC Andy Bruce in my opinion the figures are wrong one example being no-one reoffened whilst on bail in the central area of Edinburgh also that there had been no murders commited! raising suspisions with myself and others in my group. We are going to email PC Bruce to see if the figures are correct.
Police Visit
Today police officer (Andy Bruce) came to visit us to talk about Anti-social behaviour, some off the issues he spoke about were:
1. The police have joint together with the Council, Health Group, Education etc to work as a team to help tackle this problem.
2. This information is shared among neighbourhood Councils.
3. In recent years the council has taken great involvement in ASBO’s policy making but admit these ASBO’s are not effective enough for young offenders under 16 who know the law to well.
4. Currently there are 58 beats in total in Edinburgh.
When asked what would be his wish list, Police Officer (Andrew) said for more funding for facilities such as parks, community centres, football pitches etc for youths.

report on antisocial behaviour
Me and my fellow students have a agreed on a topic to discuss our topic is antisocial social behaviour we have sent emails to the Police and local Councils and i have phoned the local police liaison officer and have invited him to come and discuss the subject. We have also been to the library and researched information on the issue and facts regarding the subject. We have also had problems with fellow students dropping out of the class so its only left me and Lea left to do the work which we have overcome and have worked together to issue this blog.
When the liaison officer from Lothian and borders police come in to talk to us we will add more on the blog we will ask the officer questions like What do you think can be done to help the police force in Edinburgh to help tackle antisocial behaviour? and do you think there will ever be a day the police in Scotland will ever have to carry guns?.
We will also think of other questions in which to ask and hopefully he will over a valuable insight in today's police force.
