Antisocial behaviour
Antisocial behaviour is an accumulation category of relatively small crimes that highly influence the security perception of citizens.
Description
The exact crimes that fall in this category vary from nation to nation, with the ruling law there, but examples of crimes that fall within this category are:
- Breach of the peace
- Conduct likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress
- Affray (extending to both groups and single persons)
- Violent disorder
- Drunk and disorderly behaviour
- Drunk and incapable behaviour
- Breach of local banning orders
- Substance misuse such as glue sniffing
- Drinking alcohol on the streets /in public areas where banned
- Excessive noise coming from business / alarms / pubs and clubs
- Begging
- Prostitution related activity such as curb crawling and loitering
- Vehicle nuisance such as revving engines, racing, wheel and horn sounding
- Environmental damage such as littering/dumping
- Pubs or clubs serving alcohol after hours
- Hate incidents where abuse involves race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age or disability
Attributing circumstances
Circumstances that attribute to the occurance of antisocial behaviour, are [1]:
- Low standards of living
- Low levels of social cohesion
- low levels of social involvement
- Low amounts or quality of reaction on incidents
- Presence of young people
Impacts
The impacts of antisocial behaviour are diverse and can be very relevant to the security perception of citizens, but are usually minor in direct impact (such as costs, deaths and wounded resulting directly from the incident) but can amount to major indirect impacts (such as feelings of unsafety, loss of commercial enterprise, depreciation of immovables, etcetera).
Economic impacts
Social impacts
Known social impacts of antisocial behaviour include changing citzens perception of (in)security and fear of crime. This usually happens in a way that has an effect on the gap between "felt" and "factual" security, since individuals tend to make - correct or incorrect - reasoning on societal security as a whole based on immediate environmentla clues. This is known as the "broken glass phenomenon".
Measures
Potential measures that can mitigate the likelihood or impact of assault, are:
- Surveillance
- Reaction force
- designing out crime
- Directing flows of people
