Anti-social behaviour (ASB) remains a key issue for our communities. Analysis of previous Police and Crime Plan survey's found that ASB, and specifically Nuisance ASB remained a high priority for police and other agencies to tackle. As a result we are seeking your perceptions of ASB, what your ASB priorities are and which agencies you are mostly likely to report ASB to.  We will use this data to help shape our response to reduce ASB across the Humber region. 

Thank you for taking the time to share your views. 

Jonathan Evison, Police and Crime Commissioner for Humberside.

 

Completing the survey

The survey should take around 10 minutes to complete.  The survey software will automatically skip questions that do not apply to you, based on the answers you give.  None of the questions in the survey are mandatory, so you don’t have to answer them all.

 

Information for victims of ASB

It is important to be aware that if you have been a victim of crime, the survey will include some questions about how the police and other agencies responded.  For some individuals there is a risk that these could trigger difficult memories.

You can find details of services that can support you on our website HERE and our Affected By Crime website HERE
Do not use this survey to report a crime: instead, please call 101, or in an emergency dial 999.

Legally anti-social behaviour (ASB) is defined as “conduct that has caused, or is likely to cause, harassment alarm or distress to any person” and covers a wide-range of incidents. ASB is also challenging to define as it may not reach the threshold for crime recording. 

ASB often requires a multi-agency response including the police, local council and housing providers. This first set of questions ask what type of incidents you would define as ASB and what your top 5 ASB priorities are.

I do not believe this is ASB
I am unsure if this is ASB
Aggressive begging (e.g if you felt intimidated or threatened)
Animal related issues (e.g barking, animal mess
Dealing drugs
Use of E-Scooters, mopeds or bikes in pedestrian areas
Feeling unsafe due to the actions of a single person
Feeling unsafe due to groups of people loitering and/or becoming intimidating
Intentional fire-setting and arson
Littering
Noisy neighbours or loud parties
People being drunk or rowdy in public
Fly-tipping of household items
Fly-tipping of environmental items
