These chapters will help you understand the key legal requirements around tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB). ASB is any behaviour that has a negative impact on another individual, household or community. The impact on that individual or community is a key part of categorising behaviour as anti-social. This can be subjective, as people can be affected and distressed by different actions or behaviours.
