What is ASB?

Antisocial behaviour (ASB) is defined as actions that cause harassment, alarm, or distress to others, including nuisance, intimidation, vandalism, and disruptive conduct. It negatively affects community safety, wellbeing, and quality of life. ASB can be categorized into three main types: personal, nuisance, and environmental. Personal ASB targets specific individuals or groups, nuisance ASB causes ongoing annoyance or disruption within a community, and environmental ASB impacts shared spaces, buildings, or the wider environment.

Anti-social behaviour is conduct that causes harassment, alarm, or distress to others. This may include:

Persistent noise nuisance
Verbal abuse or harassment
Threatening behaviour
Vandalism or damage to property
