What is anti-social behaviour?
Anti-social behaviour is defined in the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 as:
"Behaviour likely to cause alarm, harassment or distress to members of the public not of the same household as the perpetrator."
South Tyneside Council has developed a strategy to tackle anti-social behaviour across the borough.
This strategy adopts four key themes:
- education
- prevention
- support
- enforcement
