What is anti-social behaviour?

Anti-social behaviour is any behaviour that causes or is likely to cause alarm, harassment, or distress to any person.

Thames Valley Police takes anti-social behaviour seriously and works closely with your local council to resolve it.

Anti-social behaviour includes a range of negative, selfish and unacceptable activity that affects the quality of neighbourhood life. Some of the activities need to be tackled by the police, while others are the responsibility of the local council.

Anti-social behaviour…

• Is caused by people of all ages.
• Has a negative impact on the quality of life of individuals, families and communities.
• Damages the environment, especially disadvantaged areas.
• Is regularly identified as a top priority for Neighbourhood Policing teams to tackle.
