What is ASB? Anti-social behaviour (ASB) covers a lot of different types of behaviour and can affect people in many different ways. For the purpose of the Community Trigger, ASB means behaviour causing or likely to cause nuisance, annoyance, harassment, alarm or distress to any member of the public or which may have a detrimental effect on someone’s quality of life.
