Anti-social behaviour
Anti-social behaviour is behaviour which causes, or is likely to cause, harassment or distress. It can be anything from low-level persistent nuisance to serious violent behaviour. It includes all behaviour that harms residents' quality of life in and around their homes.
Some examples of anti-social behaviour (ASB) are neighbour nuisance, vandalism and graffiti, noise nuisance, misuse or serious neglect of gardens, nuisance from pets, car crime, drug related crime, verbal abuse, intimidation, domestic violence and racial harassment.
