Worry about many types of ASB is at its lowest level for 20 years
The Crime Survey for England and Wales asks people every year if they are worried about different types of anti-social behaviour (ASB) in the area where they live. For many types of ASB, in 2022 the percentage of people saying many types of ASB were a very/fairly big problem in their area was at or near its lowest level since records began in 2002.
