We received the following message about antisocial behaviour from Neil Rogers, Watch Liaison Officer for Haringey:
Dear Watch Member,
Hope you are all staying cool and safe.
Yesterday was the start of #ASBawareness week. I will be posting something everyday to promote this initiative and keep you aware of everything you need to know about ASB.
What is anti-social behaviour?
According to the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003 and Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011, anti-social behaviour is defined as ‘behaviour by a person which causes, or is likely to cause, harassment, alarm or distress to persons not of the same household as the person.’ This includes a range of nuisance and criminal behaviours that cause distress to others. Whether someone’s actions can be classified as anti-social behaviour relies heavily on the impact it has on other people. More frequent or persistent behaviour is more likely to be considered as anti-social.
There are various factors that landlords, the police, and local authorities will consider when deciding the best way to deal with reports of anti-social behaviour. Reports are looked at through consideration of the victim and the impact on the wider community.
Examples of ASB:
• Noisy and/or abusive behaviour
• Vandalism
• Graffiti
• Intimidation
• Public drunkenness
• Littering
• Fly tipping
• Illegal drug use
