Challenge

Tackling antisocial behaviour (ASB) is not the responsibility of a single organisation. Councils, police and fire services all make use of legislative powers to deal with it. Therefore, information on ASB is often collected within different local systems making it difficult to get a clear picture of what is happening and to coordinate a response.
Working with Clackmannanshire, Falkirk and Stirling Community Planning Partnerships, Forth Valley GIS developed OASIS (Online Antisocial Information Sharing System). OASIS is a web GIS information sharing system. It gives an overview of ASB related incidents reported via partner agency systems.

Solution

OASIS has four related components:
Incident Mapping
Allows the user to see where incidents occur and to analyse patterns and trends. OASIS addresses one of the biggest problems in ASB , including the use of different definitions for incidents by different agencies. It translates diverse incident codes into common classifications to allow consistent analysis.
ASB Register
Local authorities have a statutory duty to keep a register of Antisocial Behaviour Orders (ASBOs). OASIS provides a single, quality assured version of these registers, accessible to all users. It also provides information on other legal interventions such as Dispersal Orders.
Document Library
A secure facility for partners to share, analyse and reports with colleagues or groups from any of the partner organisations.
ISP Forms
OASIS provides online forms allowing partners to share more detailed information with partners within a secure environment with facilities for monitoring, auditing and reporting on form use.

Results
Key Benefits
OASIS provides a current and reliable resource to support a coordinated response to ASB across the area. OASIS is innovative in a number of ways and provides a range of benefits.
Information Quality
• Improved consistency, quality and management of partner information.
• Data standards such as BS7666 improve the consistency and easy exchange of data.
• Common classification for displaying incidents.
• Current, regularly updated data.
Joint Working
• Improved presentation and greater use of operational data between services and partner organisations.
• Improved co-ordination of partner agencies’ activities through access to a common source of information.
• Reduction in the impact of ‘partnership boundaries’.
• Secure environment for information exchange.
• Regular training sessions help staff to get the most out of the system.
Service Quality
• Better awareness of geographic patterns and trends.
• More reliable information for strategic policy development, public communications and operational tasks such as patrol and enforcement.
• Evidence led ASB decision making and allocation of resources.
Value for Money
• Extends the benefits of the GIS infrastructure to the wider community planning agenda.
• Easily extendible as new requirements are identified.
• Saves time, costs and duplicated effort currently expended by all partners in collecting, managing, analysing and reporting on ASB information.
