Anti-Social Behaviour

If you are experiencing persistent anti-social behaviour that is affecting your day to day living, then please contact us. We are here to help. 

What are we going to do about it?

The aim of the partnership is to make residents feel their neighbourhood is a safe place to live and visit. Reducing anti-social behavior has been identified as a priority for the residents of Portsmouth.

The partnership  will continue to work together to reduce instances of anti-social behaviour (ASB) by intervening early, diverting people away from antisocial activity, and by enforcing the law where this is appropriate.

For more information on what we are doing to reduce anti-social behaviour, see What we do.
