📉 There has been a 30% reduction in antisocial behaviour (ASB) in September, when compared to September 2025.
Whilst we're happy that there has been a reduction and the numbers are moving in the right direction, we know that this may not feel like reality for many of you in our communities who are suffering due to ASB where you live.
This can be youths on electric bikes and scooters, gangs of children causing intimidation and mischief in parks or shops, people using drugs in public areas, or selling drugs from their homes bringing noise and violence to the area, the list goes on.
We know that ASB is under reported, due to many believing that nothing happens when this is reported.
These reductions show that when ASB is reported, we deal with it. We use legal powers such as Dispersal Orders, Criminal Behaviour Orders or CBOs, and Closure Orders. We work closely with partners in local authorities, housing providers and schools to tackle ASB where we know it is happening.
Please tell us when this is happening so that we can do something about it.
If you are experiencing ASB, please report it to us on 101 or report online.
