Tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB)

Last week, One Housing joined a national campaign to tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB) and keep people in London safe.

Running from July 3 to 9, ASB Awareness Week 2023 aimed to encourage communities to take a stand against ASB and highlight the actions that can be taken by those experiencing it.

Organised by Resolve, the UK’s leading ASB and community safety organisation, the week features a series of events all across the UK involving Councils, Police Forces, Housing Associations, charities, community groups and sports clubs.

Recent YouGov research commissioned by Resolve found that almost 1 in 5 people have had to consider moving home because of the impact ASB was having on them; 1 in 10 have actually moved. Despite this, over half of those surveyed who were either a victim or witness of ASB did not report the ASB.

One Housing is urging members of the public not to suffer in silence if they experience ASB. Incidents can be reported to One Housing, the anti-social behaviour team at the local Council, or to the Police if people feel that they are at immediate risk or in danger.

ASB is not low-level. It can have a devastating and long-lasting impact on the lives of victims and communities and can be a precursor to more serious crime.
