What is Anti-social behaviour?

Anti-social behaviour (ASB) covers a lot of different types of behaviour and can affect people in many different ways.

For the purpose of the ASB Case Review, ASB means behaviour causing or likely to cause nuisance, annoyance, harassment, alarm or distress to any member of the public or which may have a detrimental effect on someone’s quality of life.

What is an ASB Case Review?

An ASB Case Review is an important safety net for victims and communities experiencing ASB to request a review of their ASB case and to bring agencies together to find a solution for the victim(s).

An activation should be made where the Threshold is met and where victims are unsatisfied with the response they have received from the relevant agencies.

Threshold

In Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, the ASB Case Review threshold is met when;

• an application for an ASB Case Review is made; and
• at least three qualifying complaints have been made about the ASB.
