Four antisocial incidents a minute

Government figures obtained by the Conservatives show that there were 3.9 million cases of antisocial behaviour last year – or nearly 11,000 a day in England and Wales. The majority – 2.3 million cases – were reports of ‘rowdy or inconsiderate behaviour’, with 254,000 reports of nuisance neighbours. The Conservatives have said they would axe anti-social behaviour orders and introduce night time ‘grounding orders’ instead.
