Tackling anti-social behaviour
Evidence of anti-social behaviour
Anti-social behaviour is a term used to cover a very wide range of inconsiderate events and selfish behaviour.
It may include actions or behaviours that are crimes, or actions or behaviours which are not recorded as crimes in law but can have a very serious impact on an individual or a local community.
Repeated over a period of time, this behaviour can lead to a sense of fear and vulnerability amongst not just the victim, but the community as a whole.
Leicestershire constabulary strives to reduce anti-social behaviour and the fear of crime by working with key partners in Leicestershire and Rutland.
