1/2. Police and local authorities are using new powers to crack down on low-level crime and antisocial behaviour. In the first of two programmes, Allan Urry is given exclusive access to the work of teams in Leeds in the frontline of the battle to win back control of the Streets.

Reclaiming the Streets 8.00pm R4
The first of two programmes looking at Leeds Council's attempts to crack down on "those who bring misery to their communities" by using the antisocial behaviour order, or ASBO as it's known. The city's use of ASBOs has increased dramatically over the last year and, undeniably, there has been a reduction in "yob" crime as a result. I felt uncomfortable, however, with the inclusion of city centre beggars alongside thugs who've been mounting campaigns of terror on local estates. (Jane Anderson)
