Anti-social behaviour (ASB) takes many forms and includes a range of nuisance and criminal behaviours which cause distress to others, and we know through engagement that it is becoming an increasing issue. Many businesses suffer from the effects of anti-social behaviour but particularly it can impact small independent retailers. Small outlets in local communities can act as a hotspot for ASB causing mental, physical and financial harm to a business. It can also impact the customers of the business and local community because of the price in increased costs of goods, higher insurance premiums and potential loss of investment by businesses in the local area. 


In response, the National Business Crime Centre have put together a very short survey which they would like you to complete so that they can fully understand your concerns and give you the opportunity to say what you feel should be done to respond. This will only take a few minutes. Thank you in advance for your feedback.
