Abstract

In the past 10 – 15 years, British social policy and politics have become increasingly preoccupied with behaviour deemed to be unacceptable, but not necessarily criminal - actions loosely labelled as ‘anti-social behaviour’ (or ASB). The origins of a great deal of this policy focus has been within social housing provision and management - for instance, via pressure from the Social Landlords Crime and Nuisance Group and through successive Acts of Parliament that have formalised and in many cases increased social landlords’ powers for insisting on the acceptable behaviour of tenants (and their visitors). Pawson and McKenzie (ch. 8, p. 155) quite rightly refer to this as a “rising tide” of counter-ASB legislation.
