Anti-social behaviour
Creating better envionments
Anti-social behaviour is any activity that impacts on other people in a negative way. Despite a 39% drop in the incidence of crime since 1995, anti-social behaviour remains a serious issue with around 66,000 reports of ASB made to authorities each day (Source: One day count of anti-social behaviour: September 10 2003).
Respect
The government's Respect campaign encourages us all to work together to create a society in which we can respect one another and live in peace together.
The Respect Action Plan details how the government will encourage respect in communities, including stamping out anti-social behaviour, by:
-
supporting or challenging anti-social households
-
tackling truancy and anti-social behaviour in schools
-
providing activities for younger people
-
strengthening local communities
-
stronger measures to tackle anti-social behavour
