Creating a safe, healthy and confident South Ayrshire

What is antisocial behaviour?

Antisocial behaviour is any behaviour that causes distress or alarm. Examples include:

  • Noisy neighbours
  • Fly tipping
  • Vandalism
  • Noise nuisance
  • Youth disorder

Antisocial behaviour is not behaviour that is merely different, or that is the result of a medical or developmental condition. Therefore tolerance and awareness of other's needs is an important part of tackling antisocial behaviour (Safer Scotland – Scottish Executive 2004).

We do recognise that behaviour regarded as acceptable by some can be seen as antisocial and unacceptable to others - expectations of standards of behaviour can vary between communities, groups within communities and individuals.
