Safer Communities Plan 2008-2011
We have written a new three year plan to tackle crime and disorder and drug and alcohol issues in the borough.
Anti-Social Behaviour
What is anti-social behaviour?
Anti-social behaviour covers a range of nuisance including:
- Verbal abuse
- Vandalism
- Graffiti
- Racial Abuse
- Dealing drugs
- Drinking alcohol in the street
- Threatening / intimidating behaviour
This definition covers the actions of individuals and larger groups. It is not intended as a comprehensive list. Any behaviour which causes harassment, alarm or distress is anti-social.
What can be done?
There are a number of ways in which the RSCP can address anti-social behaviour. These actions include:
- Warning letters
- Home visits
- Acceptable Behaviour Contracts (ABC’s)
- Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBO’s)
- Supportive Programmes

How can the community help?
ASBO’s are community based orders that involve local people not only in the collection of evidence, but also by helping to enforce breaches. By their nature, they encourage local communities to become actively involved in reporting crime and disorder and contributing effectively in “making the Borough a place where everyone is safe and feels safe.”Diary sheets
To help us to stop anti-social behaviour in the community we would require the completion of incident diary sheets. The diary sheets would be used to provide evidence in court.
