Anti-social behaviour
Anti-social behaviour covers a wide range of unacceptable activity that causes harm to an individual, to their community or to their environment. This could be an action by someone else that leaves you feeling alarmed, harassed or distressed. It also includes fear of crime or concern for public safety, public disorder or public nuisance.
Our anti-social behaviour team is based in Horsham Police Station. Their role includes:
- Working with local police officers to offer positive intervention and support to victims and perpetrators of anti-social behaviour
- Developing strong partnerships with local social landlords, schools and support workers to help tackle anti-social behaviour
- Running Understanding Teenage Behaviour courses to support parents who are struggling to manage their teenager’s behaviour
- Responding to issues in the community by co-ordinating problem solving meetings
- Making use of powers under Anti-Social Behaviour legislation to help tackle anti-social behaviour issues, including signing individuals onto Acceptable Behaviour Contracts, applying for Criminal Behaviour Orders and Injunctions and issuing Community Protection Notices
