Anti-social behaviour is any activity that impacts on other people in a negative way. It includes different types of selfish behaviour and unacceptable activity that can blight the quality of community life.

·         Nuisance neighbours

·         Intimidating groups taking over public places

·         Vandalism, graffiti, fly-tipping

·         People taking and buying drugs on the street

·         People dumping rubbish and abandoning cars

·         Anti-social drinking

 Anti-social behaviour can be targeted at specific groups of people or be a result of general circumstances, such as youths on the street creating a feeling of intimidation. Noise disturbance caused by late-night fireworks is another example of anti-social behaviour.
