  1. What is antisocial behaviour
  2. There is no precise definition of antisocial behaviour. Broadly, it is acting in a way that causes or is likely to cause alarm or distress to one or more people in another household. To be antisocial behaviour, the behaviour must be persistent.
    There may be a fine line between antisocial behaviour and disputes between neighbours over relatively minor inconveniences, although these may, if persistent, become antisocial behaviour. Antisocial behaviour can include:
    • noise
    • shouting, swearing and fighting
    • intimidation of neighbours and others through threats or actual violence
    • harassment, including racial harassment or sectarian aggression. More about harassment
    • verbal abuse
    • bullying of children in public recreation grounds, on the way to school or even on school grounds, if normal school disciplinary procedures do not stop the behaviour
    • abusive behaviour aimed at causing distress or fear to certain people, for example, elderly or disabled people
    • driving in an inconsiderate or careless way, for example, drivers congregating in an area for racing
    • dumping rubbish
    • animal nuisance, including dog fouling
    • vandalism, property damage and graffiti.

    Antisocial behaviour in holiday accommodation

    You might be disrupted by antisocial behaviour from property near yours that is rented out for short holidays, for example, or at weekends for a party. There are legal powers that can be used by the local authority, to control this problem. It can apply for a court order to force the owners of the property to control the behaviour of anyone that rents it. In the worst cases a sheriff court can issue a court order that allows the local authority to take over the management of the property for a year.
  3. How to report anti-social behaviour
    1. For non urgent issues and to pass on information, call West Yorkshire Police on 101.
    2. In an emergency (if a crime is in progress or you think the offenders are near by), call 999.
    3. To give information anonymously, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111
