It’s that antisocial… tackling it head-on


Hello Resident,

Tackling antisocial behaviour is a priority for Thames Valley Police. And today (28/7), we are launching phase 2 of the antisocial behaviour campaign 'It's that antisocial’. 

Antisocial behaviour is defined as 'behaviour by a person which causes, or is likely to cause, harassment, alarm or distress to persons not of the same household as the person’.   

There are 13 different types of antisocial behaviour, some of which are dealt with by police and others by partnership agencies, which includes: 

  • Vehicle abandoned
  • Vehicle nuisance or inappropriate use
  • Rowdy or inconsiderate behaviour
  • Rowdy or nuisance neighbours
  • Littering or drugs paraphernalia
  • Animal problems
  • Trespassing
  • Nuisance calls
  • Street drinking
  • Activity relating to sex workers or sex working
  • Nuisance noise
  • Begging
  • Misuse of fireworks
  • More information on antisocial behaviour can be found on the Thames Valley Police website.

    Antisocial behaviour can have a significant impact on victims, and we, alongside partners, are here to ensure we use all of our powers to tackle the issue head-on. Incidents of antisocial behaviour often increase during the summer period, and in order for us to effectively tackle the issue, we need people who are affected to report it. 

    If you experience or witness antisocial behaviour, report it via our website. Remember, if there is an emergency or someone is in danger, always call 999.
