Specialist anti-social behaviour units are common within social housing providers, with many established in response to the policies of the New Labour governments of 1997-2010. These units now find themselves operating in a different political and financial environment. Following the English riots of 2011, the Coalition government, whilst imposing budgetary cuts across the public sector, called on social housing providers to intensify their role in tackling disorder. This article explores the habitus or working cultures within anti-social behaviour units post-New Labour. It does so through empirical research conducted in the aftermath of the English riots. The research finds that practitioners view their work as a core function of social housing provision. They have developed an understanding of human behaviour, which crosses the criminal and social policy fields with a wide skillset to match. A number of factors including national policy, community expectations, and multi-partnership engagement influence their dynamic working culture.

Specifically, Congress made four requests of this study. It asked the Corporation to (1) study the overall effectiveness and accuracy of the methodology used in establishing and maintaining reserves and estimating and accounting for losses at insured depository institutions during the period 1992-2004; (2) study the appropriateness and reliability of the information and criteria used in determining whether an institution was in a troubled condition and the amount of any loss anticipated at such institution; (3) analyze the actual historical loss experience for the period 1992-2004 and the causes of the exceptionally high rate of losses in the final three years of that period (2002-2004); and (4) rate the efforts of the Corporation to reduce losses in that three-year period to minimally acceptable levels and to historical levels.
