Anti-Social Behaviour

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
