What is Anti-Social Behaviour?
When we talk about anti-social behaviour, we mean behaviour that causes harassment, alarm, or distress to individuals or groups of people.
There are many different types of anti-social behaviour. Some incidents can affect only one or two individuals, whereas others can affect entire streets or even entire communities.
Types of anti-social behaviour can include:
Harassment (including racial harassment, homophobic harassment, and harassment on religious grounds)
Verbal and physical abuse and intimidation
Damage to property, including graffiti and vandalism
Nuisance from vehicles, including parking, street repairs, and abandoned cars
Noise – music, vehicles, alarms, and other types of noise
Littering and fly-tipping (includes dumping of rubbish, white-goods, and furniture)
Using and/or selling drugs
