Anti-social behaviourAnti-social behaviour defines a range of problems – noisy neighbours, abandoned cars, vandalism, graffiti, litter and youth nuisance. It can hold back the regeneration of our most disadvantaged areas, creating an environment in which crime can take hold. In 2003, nearly a quarter of people canvassed by the British Crime Survey (22 per cent) perceived a high level of disorder in their local area. Below is a list of all legislation, relating to anti-social behaviour and sentencing, together with examples of best practice and case studies.The Home Office is the lead Government Department for tackling Anti-social Behaviour. It is currently delivering the Together campaign. This includes the TOGETHER ActionLine and website as part of the package of support being provided to enable practitioners to improve the response to anti social behaviour. They will help practitioners become confident in using the powers available to them, give them access to innovative and creative solutions and enable them to 'network' and share knowledge and successes. The TOGETHER ActionLine is available every weekday on 0870 220 2000, to provide information, discuss solutions and best practice to help practitioners tackle anti social behaviour throughout England and Wales. This TOGETHER website will support both the ActionLine and the Academy. From April you will be able to use this site to find clear advice, best practice examples and useful links.
