I don't think families should be evicted as a result of a one off incident. However, if members of a council household have a record of bringing crime and destruction to an area then the council have every right to get rid of them. Its for the benefit of the decent people who live in the area.

That said, a severe warning may suffice for this occasion rather than an immediate eviction. At this point its the actual person that is convicted that should be heavily punished. But if they continue to behave that way then the council have an absolute right to evict them. Nobody has a right to drag areas down to their own scumbag level....certainly not when taxpayers are paying their bills.
