These letters are a warning that if the anti-social behaviour continues, then the police may take action by way of applying for an Anti-Social Behaviour Order.

These are civil orders, which can be taken out against any person aged 10 years or over.

Anti-social behaviour is defined by the Crime and Disorder Act of 1998 as any behaviour that caused or was likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to one or more person not of the same household.
