Summary:
Stories of antisocial behaviour and crime have been in the news much recently, sometimes viewed as the same issue, though they are often separate things. We know antisocial behaviour is not a new challenge, but the way it has been defined and interpreted over the years, especially post-Covid, has changed significantly.
An independent working group appointed by the Scottish Government at the end of 2023. As a group, we were very fortunate to have spent a year travelling around Scotland to hear about antisocial behaviour, speaking to over 250 people and receiving 150 survey responses, we gained a good understanding of ASB, its impact and the causes.
This webinar gives an overview of what the independent group heard, the research evidence and the recommendations presented to the Government to action.
