Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) commissioned Ipsos to explore public attitudes towards anti-social behaviour and police response.
In particular, the research identified what people understand by the term ‘anti-social behaviour’; who they feel ought to be responsible for dealing with it; their expectations of key agencies such as the police; and the conditions under which people report particular incidents.
The research measures attitudes towards contact with the police when reporting anti-social behaviour and identifies key areas for improvement.
