Antisocial and threatening behaviour

If someone is injured, being threatened or in danger, always call 999.

We know that antisocial behaviour (ASB) can have a devastating impact on communities, individuals and businesses if left untackled. We are committed to protecting all those affected by it.

We define antisocial behaviour as “acting in a manner that causes or is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress”.

This can cover a wide range of behaviour including:

• hate-related incidents
• drugs
• threatening behaviour or harassment
• neighbour disputes
• dog-related ASB on estates
• youth disorder
• begging
• street drinking
• sex work
• loitering
• misuse of mopeds, motorcycles, e-scooters and e-bikes
• arson
• graffiti
• squatting
• trespassing
• large or problematic gatherings
