Why is Anti-social Behaviour so difficult to define? and what are the problems with the current definition?
|
anti-social behaviour is difficult to define because it is a term that is dependant on a victim or possible victims perception of what anti-social behaviour is. As everyone is different so is their perception of what behaviour they would class as anti-social. The current definition is so broad that it places a lot of emphasis on trust in enforcement agencies which have often let them down. the government seem to have left the finer details in deciding on ASB to the judiciary
