What is antisocial behaviour?

Antisocial behaviour includes things such as:

• abandoning cars on the street
• aggressive begging
• dealing or buying drugs on the street
• drinking in the street
• litter and fly-tipping rubbish
• rowdy, noisy behaviour in otherwise quiet neighbourhoods
• setting off fireworks late at night
• threatening, drunken or 'yobbish' behaviour
• vandalism, graffiti and fly-posting

Antisocial behaviour minimum standards

Suffolk is a safe county, but we are not immune from antisocial behaviour (ASB) and for many communities it is a key concern. The Western Suffolk Community Safety Partnership (WSCSP) has agreed minimum standards of service that will be provided to all victims and witnesses of ASB.

We will not tolerate this type of incident and these minimum standards form our promise to you to help keep Suffolk a safe and pleasant county in which to live, work and visit.
