In recent times, we have all become accustomed to dealing with higher volumes of queries about antisocial behaviour. They take on a very serious element in the present time when we are now dealing with people who are being forced out of their homes under threats of violence and sexual activity and abuse. People have had to sell their homes and, after their savings have been decimated, go back on the housing list or appeal to get on the housing list. This has come at a time when much has been said about vetting and the vetting of immigrants in particular. Some of the people who are causing these problems need to be vetted in a more serious fashion because they are now forcing law-abiding citizens out of the homes they bought and for which they had a mortgage and had to leave because of this type of activity.
