Anti-Social Behaviour Statistics

Caution: These anti social behaviour incidents are derived from operational police information and are not quality assured by the Police Service’s Central Statistics Unit.

Anti-social behaviour incidents within Northern Ireland are operational figures collated by the Police Service in accordance with the Home Office National Standard for Incident Recording (NSIR).  They have been compiled in this format since the NSIR was introduced in April 2006.

Incidents are categorised as follows:

  • Abandoned vehicles (not stolen or causing an obstruction)
  • Animal problems
  • Begging / vagrancy
  • Hoax calls to emergency services
  • Inappropriate use / sale / possession of fireworks
  • Malicious / nuisance communications
  • Noise
  • Prostitution related activity
  • Rowdy and / or nuisance behaviour - environmental damage / littering
  • Rowdy and / or nuisance behaviour - neighbours
  • Rowdy and / or nuisance behaviour
  • Street drinking
  • Substance misuse
  • Trespass
  • Vehicle nuisance / inappropriate vehicle use

Anti-social behaviour incidents are a separate dataset to the recorded crime statistics and there is no overlap between the two.

As with the crime figures they are reported for the financial year to date (FYTD) and are compared with the statistics for the same period in the previous financial year (PFYTD).
