Anti-Social Behaviour

Anti-Social Behaviour is often sub-criminal behaviour that severely blights the lives of homeowners and tenants in areas where it occurs. Anti-social behaviour can take many forms. In almost every case it is debilitating, intimidating and it often destroys the quality of life for residents on the road or street where it occurs. Anti-social behaviour leads to the commonly expressed sentiment that people feel like prisoners in their own home.

Anti-social behaviour, when it occurs, is very difficult to stop. Effective policing and enforcement by a local authority can have a big impact in reducing anti-social behaviour. But sometimes a Police Force or Local Authority lacks the training, powers or resources to deal with anti-social behaviour. In some areas there is a lack of will to deal with it. Anti-social behaviour can easily become entrenched and impossible to escape. It sweeps away the basic human right to peaceful and quiet enjoyment of one’s home. It can damage health and wellbeing and places enormous stress on normal family life.
