Today marks 20 years since the London 7/7 bombings. We remember the 52 people who lost their lives, and the people who were injured or affected by the events of that day. We also honour the emergency services' exceptional bravery in such difficult circumstances.

Today, we published a new PEEL spotlight report into the policing response to antisocial behaviour. We found good examples of forces using problem-solving approaches, but they must improve how they identify, record and respond to these incidents.
