What do you feel is anti-social behaviour.?

Question

I work with loads of groups in my area and have been asked to define ASB. I feel that the opinion of ASB is different to everybody so I would like to throw open the question, what do you class as ASB?

Answer 1

Intimidating behaviour, criminal damage, drinking alcohol in public and to excess, use of foul language, playing music far too loud and being a general nuisance. We used to live in a street with all the above and more, I wish someone would have done something to help us I was so scared I hardly ever left the house ( I was 22).

Answer 2

Any behaviour which another person finds unacceptable. This is obviously different for everyone. I for example don't find a large group of youths stood on the street corner menacing or worrying, but to an elderly person they may feel intimidated and unable to walk through/past them.

Answer 3

It's something that causes a nusance for others. It's a bit of a vague thing which is why we have ASBOs, if it were easy to define there would be laws, and people doing it would be convicted and fined or otherwise punished.

Answer 4

Causing someone else pain or discomfort for the pure joy of it. Most of the time there is a purpose for it.

Answer 5

Throwing beer cans, smashing telephone boxes and bus shelters, blocking the pavement, shouting abuse at passers-by etc

Answer 6

Behavior that is destructive for the sake of disruption.

Answer 7

Teenagers being allowed out of their homes.

Answer 8

Anything which disturbs others unneccessarily.

Answer 9

When some knob lets his dog have a poo in your front garden and leaves it there.

Answer 10

causing trouble for other people for no reason
