The week will bring together people and organisations from across the country to make a stand and work together to make communities safer.
Anti-social behaviour is a broad term used to describe the day-to-day incidents of crime, nuisance and disorder including rowdy and noisy behaviour in otherwise quiet neighbourhoods, noise from homes and gardens and vehicle related nuisance. The responsibility for dealing with anti-social behaviour is shared between several agencies, including the police, Local Authorities, and housing providers.
The Suffolk Safer Stronger Communities Board will use the awareness week as an opportunity to focus on the impact of anti-social behaviour on young people, and the importance engaging with the wider public about their vital role in tackling Anti-Social Behaviour. The Suffolk Safer Stronger Communities Board consists senior elected members and officers, from a range of organisations including County, District and Borough councils, Suffolk Police, Police and Crime Commissioner, Community Safety Partnerships and Clinical Commissioning Groups.
