Antisocial behaviour

Antisocial behaviour

Antisocial behaviour is behaviour that causes harassment, alarm or distress to a person of a different household than the perpetrator.

Antisocial behaviour includes:

• harassment or intimidation, including verbal and written abuse
• damage and vandalism to your property
• noise nuisances, such as loud music playing late at night
• smoke nuisances, such as bonfires
• nuisance behaviour by others, such as drinking or substance misuse
• hate-related incidents directed at another person’s race, sexual orientation, disability, religion or gender identity
• out-of-control animals and dog fowling
• vehicle-related nuisances, such as street cruising and abandoned vehicles
