REAL PROBLEMS, REAL SOLUTIONS: Anti social behaviour
What is anti-social behaviour?
- Anti-social behaviour can have a detrimental effect on the quality of life of individuals and local communities. You can experience it in a variety of forms – it is virtually any behaviour that causes, or is likely to cause alarm, harassment or distress. It can leave victims feeling intimidated, angry and frightened. South Wales Police, along with its partners, are determined to tackle the small minority of people who act in this way. Some examples of anti-social behaviour include:
- Groups of people hanging around streets, causing a nuisance
- Underage drinking in the street
- Threatening or drunken behaviour
- Inappropriate use of cars or motorbikes, such as constant revving of engines, loud stereos or noisy exhausts
- Vandalism and graffiti
- Drug dealing or taking
- Fly-tipping
- Noise from houses or gardens during the night, especially between 11pm and 7am
- Abandoned vehicles
- Begging
- Prostitution
- Intimidation
