Anti Social Behaviour

Anti-social behaviour is "acting in a manner that caused or was likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to one or more persons not of the same household as the complainant".

Anti-social behaviour is annoying, and could lead to 'more serious' criminal activity.

Some examples are:

• Nuisance neighbours
• Yobbish behaviour and intimidating groups taking over public spaces
• Vandalism, graffiti and fly-posting
• Dealing and buying drugs on the street
• Dumping rubbish and abandoning cars
• Anti-social drinking
• Misuse of fireworks
• Reckless driving including driving of mini-motorbikes
  

Anti-social behaviour cases fall into three areas:

• Environmental
• Streets and public places
• Neighbours
