Cornerstone on ASB is a must read for any practitioner working in community safety. It acts as an invaluable one stop shop for legislation, case law and best practice in relation to the tools and powers arising from the ASB, Crime and Policing Act 2014. The added bonus is the resource section at the back, including template documents and fully reproduced guidance. I am incredibly grateful for this new, fully updated edition, if only to replace my dog-eared 1st edition!
