Identifying the Problem

The partnership will need to gather and analyse information on:

  • what types of anti-social behaviour is taking place and how often

  • where

  • when

  • why

  • offenders

  • victims

This section sets out to help partners with this analysis. It provides summary checklists for suggested local use. It also draws on the principles set out in the "Conjunction of Criminal Opportunity" framework developed by the Home Office Research, Development and Statistics Directorate. Ideally, the anti-social behaviour audit should contain information on each of the following:

Anti-social behaviour/disorder & other forms of nuisance behaviour

Number, types & rates of incidents

Trends

Geographic distribution (e.g. ward, beat, estate area)

Victims

Age, gender, ethnicity, area where they live

Analysis of patterns of repeat victimisation

Offenders

Age, gender, ethnicity, area where they live

Persistent offending behaviour

Risk factors associated with offending behaviour e.g. drug misuse, unemployment

Costs of Anti-social behaviour problems

Costs & consequences of nuisance e.g. repair costs; loss of business;

Contextual information & information on risk factors

Social, economic & environmental associated with anti-social behaviour/disorder & other forms of nuisance problems
