Anti-social behaviour is any behaviour that causes distress or alarm. Examples include:
Anti-social 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 anti-social behaviour (Safer Scotland – Scottish Executive 2004).
