The Government places a high emphasis on tackling anti-social behaviour.
Research is focusing on:
defining
and measuring anti-social behaviour
factors
that affect children’s
involvement in anti-social behaviour
interventions
to tackle anti-social behaviour
Defining
and measuring anti-social behaviour is a key area of work, as
previous research
has been limited by difficulties with
the
definition of anti-social behaviour. We are therefore conducting
research to fill important knowledge gaps.
The British Crime Survey is currently the main source of regular
information about perceptions of ASB as a problem in local
communities across England and Wales, and a range of anti-social
behaviours
are explored using the survey.
