Anti-social behaviour is defined as activities that are unacceptable and reduce the quality of life for others, this could be by harassment or through distress, this is a very broad statement coupled with that, the act must be persistent.
It's very difficult to differentiate between disputes, minor disturbance and Anti-social behaviour. It is up to the authorities to decide if the instances fall under the remit of the Anti-social Behaviour act.
For example, noise caused by a party may cause disruption, and you may have to call the police but in isolation may not be classes under the Act, persistent offences of this type may.
If you would like to report someone for anti social behaviour the first thing to do is to find out who is responsible, and if the acts were deliberate.
Your next action will depend on the outcome you want, do you want a prosecution or an apology? You can do a number of things which come down to two actions; take action yourself or get someone to act on your behalf, the former may have complications, and above all things, you should avoid confrontation that may endanger you.
Depending where and what the incidents were will dictate who you can contact, if in doubt the police, CAB or a solicitor are the best port of call, it may turn out that your local authority or Landlord may need to take action.
If you do not wish to contact the police you can discuss your situation with the Citizens advice Bureau or a solicitor, as your actions can have repercussions on your living environment, if possible, we would recommend receiving advice before you contact the police.
You can contact a firm of solicitors thorough the site by searching for a criminal solicitor in your area or contact the CAB on 08444 111 444 for details on where you can obtain help.
