Home Secretary Suella Braverman spoke to police about cracking down on antisocial behaviour during a visit to the city today.

Ms Braverman met Sussex Police Chief Constable Jo Shiner and Inspector James Ward to discuss success in tackling antisocial behaviour and violence in Brighton.

The Home Secretary was seen at The Level, where Sussex Police have used targeted, evidence-led policing to reduce crime in so-called "hotspot areas".

She was also told about how a partnership approach at The Level has reduced antisocial behaviour in the park by 55 per cent.

Her visit comes as Ms Braverman plans "major reform" of the government's anti-terror Prevent programme.

Suella Braverman told MPs yesterday that the scheme, which aims to stop people turning to terrorism, needs to "better understand the threats we face and the ideology underpinning them".

She told the House of Commons: "Prevent needs major reform. Prevent needs to better understand the threats we face and the ideology underpinning them.

"I will swiftly implement all of the review’s recommendations and will report on my progress a year from now.

"Prevent’s focus must solely be on security, not political correctness."
