Anti-Social Behaviour

So what is anti-social behaviour?

In practice anti-social behaviour can mean different things to different people. It can cover a wide range of behaviours from dog fouling to criminal damage to property.

It happens when a person's actions are likely to cause alarm, distress, nuisance or annoyance to another person or damage to someone's property. It can include speaking threateningly or offensively.

“Crime motivated by malice or ill-will towards a social group.”
