 Reducing
and Preventing Anti-Social Behaviour
While only a tiny percentage of residents in Dacorum
will ever experience violent crime, all of us see some example
of anti-social behaviour every time we go out.
The Borough Council is leading the campaign to curb
bad behaviour, working in close association with the police, social
services, Primary Care Trust, Housing Associations, Neighbourhood
Watch and others.
Driving dangerously, shouting and swearing, general
noise nuisance, abandoned cars, allowing dogs to foul the footway
and dropping litter are just a few examples of bad behaviour that
chips away at the quality of life.
The Anti-Social Behaviour Team can use a wide range
of remedies,some non-legal such as a quiet word in the ear or
a written Acceptable Behaviour Contract, to legal action such
as injunctions, eviction or Anti-Social Behaviour Orders.
Dacorum has a higher rate of anti-social behaviour
incidents than Hertfordshire as a whole - 62 per 1,000 people
compared with a Hertfordshire total of 57.
