The drive to tackle ASB, which is being funded by a £10m package, will target 130 local councils.
Among the measures it will support are:
*letting local residents know the rights and how to report anti-social behaviour through targeted leaflets, regional events and information for local media
*extra training for frontline staff such as ASB co-ordinators, police and neighbourhood wardens
*training to help residents and community champions challenge police and councils and shape the approach to tackling anti-social behaviour;
*extra funding for local work to tackle anti-social behaviour such as environmental clean up campaigns, supporting community led projects to engage young people and creating more attractive public spaces.
