What is Anti-Social Behaviour?
St Leger Homes of Doncaster
acknowledges that there is more than one definition of anti-social
behaviour (ASB) but it favours the definition as stated in the
Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003.
"Conduct which is
capable of causing nuisance or annoyance to any person and which
directly or indirectly relates to, or affects the housing
management functions of the landlord"
Anti-social Behaviour can be split into three main themes
as listed below:
1. Neighbour problems
These are disputes that can occur between two or more neighbours
and cover complaints about noise, verbal abuse, boundary disputes,
harassment and intimidation, nuisance children, damage to property
and barking dogs.
2. Neighbourhood problems
These affect more people living in a neighbourhood and include
such things as graffiti, dog fouling, fly tipping, nuisance gangs
of youths, off-road motor cycling and abandoned vehicles.
3. Crime problems
Problems include burglary of homes, criminal
damage, drug dealing, car crime, arson, racial incidents and hate
crime, public disorder offences and acts of violence.
If you have any concerns or questions about
anti-social behaviour, please contact your local St. Leger office
