Anti-social behaviour

Anti-social behaviour appears to be a source of unhappiness, insecurity and sometimes resentment in various neighbourhoods and local areas. It takes various forms, and seems to be talked about much more in private than in public.

•  Are these just the everyday irritations and complaints that happen everywhere, or is something more worrying involved?

•  Has anti-social behaviour affected you or your family?

•  Does this issue relate to broader tensions and divisions within the community?

•  If so, what more could be done by neighbours, the Council or the police?

•  What about ideas of Neighbourhood Watch, local Citizens' Assemblies or Community Mediation Services as possible solutions to perceived difficulties?

I hear this term 'anti-social behaviour' being thrown about in many a discussion. How exactly do you define it? My worry is that a person may be deemed anti-social if they don't live identical lives or hold similar beliefs or values.  I am fully aware that certain individual actions are unwelcome in society. However, experience surely must tell us that hastily agreed social rules, a little further down the road so to speak, can develop into potentially ominously Orwellian 'Village Meetings'	Brian, 5/6/04
