Tackling Anti Social Behaviour

Neighbourhood Watch
What's the most effective way of keeping your home secure? For most people having a watchful neighbour is a very reassuring and effective method.

Domestic Abuse
Domestic violence doesn't just affect women, it can affect men too, and the violence usually gets worse over time. There are other non-physical forms of abuse too, such as verbal abuse or attempts to control or bully you, which can also have damaging effects.
There are many people who remain in violent relationships because they don't acknowledge what is happening to them
.It's not easy coming to terms with the fact that your partner is violent toward you, and it's not unusual for the abused partner to minimise, or even justify what is happening to them.

Community Safety

What is Anti Social Behaviour ?
The definition of anti-social behaviour under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 is that it is 'behaviour likely to cause alarm, harassment or distress to members of the public not of the same household as the perpetrator'.
Depending on the circumstances, many kinds of behaviour can be called anti-social.

‘Anti-social behaviour’ means different things to different people – noisy neighbours who ruin the lives of those around them, ‘crack houses’ run by drug dealers, drunken ‘yobs’ taking over town centres, people begging by cash-points, abandoned cars, litter and graffiti, young people using airguns to threaten and intimidate, or people using fireworks as weapons

Our Aim

  • To galvanise public distaste for the 'yob culture'
  • To inculcate abhorrence’s of petty crime & anti-social behaviour
  • To make public areas welcoming and safe at all times of the day
  • To support other public bodies in promoting civic pride
  • To protect young people from conflict and confrontation

The main examples of Anti Social Behaviour includes:
Street scene:
Criminal damage/vandalism; begging; Threatening behaviour; anti-social drinking; street prostitution and kerb-crawling; street drugs market.
Nuisance neighbours:
Intimidation and harassment; noise, rowdy and nuisance behaviour; hoax calls; animal related problems; vehicle related nuisance.
Environmental crime:
Criminal damage / vandalism; graffiti and fly-posting; fly-tipping; litter and waste; nuisance vehicles; drugs paraphernalia; fireworks misuse; abandoned vehicles; Dogs fouling.
