Antisocial Behaviour

Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) can occur anywhere and at any time. It may occur in a private area or a public one and it is primarily generated through an individual’s perception of an act being anti social. In other words the primary mechanism by which an individual
will be triggered into thinking that an act was anti-social in nature will be determined by what their perception is of ‘social behaviour’. Clearly this perception will vary between individuals who live in the same area and will be determined by an individual’s range of
life experiences and beliefs. With this in mind it is very difficult to have a standardised response to allegations of ASB, as responses and investigations need to be sensitive to the perceptions of the victim.

Find out how we investigate ASB in our Anti-social behaviour-Hate crime investigation and enforcement protocol.


To report antisocial behaviour in your neighbourhood, call Nottinghamshire Police on 101 or report antisocial behaviour online to Nottinghamshire Police. Where you believe a crime is being committed you should report to the police e.g. Criminal Damage/Vandalism, Rowdy or inconsiderate behaviour in a public place, Begging etc. You can report Antisocial behaviour to Rushcliffe Borough Council on Report antisocial behaviour on the Online Form. Where it is necessary to do so the Council will refer incidents and/or individuals to partner organisations for investigation (including the police), or may investigate certain reports (e.g. noise, litter, fly tipping, abandoned vehicles etc) and act in accordance with the Anti-social behaviour-Hate crime investigation and enforcement protocol, the councils Enforcement Policy, and with regards to the Rushcliffe Borough Council Privacy Notice.

If your are a tenant in a Housing Association property you should make your housing provider aware of your issues and they will investigate the report. Where necessary they will also liaise with other agencies such as Rushcliffe ASB team or the police.
