“…Perception data have become the principle source of evidence about ASB (Squires, 2006;Prior, 2009;Mackenzie et al, 2010). However, analysis of the case studies revealed little evidence of perception data being used to understand and prioritise problems.…”

This article examines contemporary responses to anti-social behaviour (ASB) in England and Wales. Drawing on empirical evidence, it examines how ASB problems are understood and prioritised by practitioners; the nature of the interventions developed and implemented to address problems; and the ways in which outcomes are evaluated. The article points to how systematic analysis of ASB problems is unusual and responses are usually reactive; there has been a focus on enforcement interventions rather than on the development of broader solutions to problems; and evaluation of outcomes is weak. These findings are discussed in relation to the development of the ASB agenda in England and Wales. Implications for solving problems are discussed. (2011) Crime Prevention and Community Safety IntroductionThis article examines approaches to tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB). Drawing on case studies of 'good practice', it examines how ASB problems come to the attention of the authorities; the tools and techniques used to tackle them; and how outcomes are evaluated. It critically considers how the development of ASB policy in the United Kingdom has shaped local responses, and discusses implications for practice.

“…In the urban environment, noise is both a cause and consequence of other elements of social life which require specific forms of management. For example, 'Environmental AntiSocial Behaviour' in the urban context includes 'noise nuisance' and is a major factor in public perceptions of an uneasy and disquieting living space and hence a driver of regulatory interventions (Mackenzie et al, 2010;Flint, 2013). More widely, city populations engage in huge and unconstrained consumption of food, drink and other goods that are sold in disposable containers made of plastic, paper, metal and other types of organic / inorganic materials.…”

Abstract:Noise was probably the first environmental pollutant (apart from human waste) in the Ancient world. Yet today, by comparison with other environmental matters, noise and protection from its effects are often overlooked, except in specialist fields such as architecture or planning. One major reason for this may be that noise does not possess the same ability to spread that is characteristic of other forms of pollution. Noise is also an unusual form of environmental pollution in having a physical impactit is 'heard' and can be 'felt' -but is predominantly interpreted subjectively. The impact and consequences of anthropogenic noise for humans and biodiversity in general, are currently under-investigated in criminology and are under-addressed in both public and private international environmental law. Here we question why noise has not (so far) been explored within green criminology and only tentatively explored within cultural criminology. The objectives are to provide an overview of noise as a topic, connecting media, culture, anti-and pro-social behaviour, and to unearth interconnections between the matter of noise and its implications for the environment.

“…Specifically, the focus is on aesthetic determinants of perceived anti-social behaviour -whilst acknowledging that there are clearly other influences on perception (see e.g. Jacobson, Millie and Hough, 2008;Mackenzie et al, 2010). The discussion draws on philosophical, criminological and other writings to unpick some influences of aesthetic taste on what is perceived to be anti-social.…”

“…Of course, at the end of the twentieth century, anti-social behaviour was nothing new, a fact highlighted in other contributions to this volume. Yet, following pressure on MPs from constituents facing difficulties with people labelled as 'neighbours from hell' (Straw, 1996;Field, 2003) -and influenced by American zero-tolerance policing strategies (Millie, 2009a(Millie, ) -the 1997(Millie, -2010 New Labour government made anti-social behaviour one of its key policy targets. Being anti-social was defined by New Labour as behaving 'in a manner that caused or was likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to one or more persons not of the same household as [the perpetrator]' (Crime and Disorder Act, 1998, s.1(1a)).…”

Anti-Social Behaviour in Britain

From the late-1990s onwards, anti-social behaviour has been high on the political agenda in Britain. This chapter draws on philosophical, criminological and other writings to unpick some influences of aesthetic taste on what is perceived to be anti-social. The meaning and subjectivity of aesthetic judgment are considered, with examples given that may lead to censure and 'banishment' -such as wearing a hoodie, writing the wrong sort of graffiti or being visibly homeless. Due to its influence on British policy, Wilson and Kelling's (1982) 'broken windows' is given particular attention and, in line with Ferrell (2006), is seen as an aesthetic theory that makes various assumptions as to what -or who -act as signals of urban decay. The chapter considers whether it is ever right to censure aesthetic taste and simply banish the unsightly. Instead, it is suggested that respect for difference could alternatively be promoted.
