Defining environmental crime and anti-social behaviour
Defining anti-social behaviour:
North Tyneside Council has adopted the Home Office definition of anti-social behaviour (ASB) which is also widely used by Community Safety Partnerships.
It defines ASB as follows:
‘Acting in a manner that caused or was likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to one or more persons not of the same household as (the defendant).’
