One yobbish act every six minutes
10:06am Monday 24th September 2012 in Crime
By Tara Russell, News Reporter
YOBS commit acts of antisocial behaviour across the county every six minutes, new figures reveal.
The statistics released by police today show that on average ten people are victim to rowdy yobs every hour.
In just three months this summer police were called to 24,110 different incidents of antisocial behaviour, the Daily Echo can reveal.
And the new data reveals that the biggest increase in antisocial crime was for nuisance communication with more bullies sending emails, texts and messages on social media sites.
There were 1,580 victims of this type of antisocial behaviour in just three months – more than 16 per cent up on the reported 1,359 figure last year.
Despite the high figures, police say they are winning the war on this crime with 1,315 fewer incidents this year compared to last year’s figure of 25,425 call outs – a reduction of five per cent.
The decrease comes after a summer antisocial behaviour campaign, which ran from June until September.
Hampshire police said among the categories of crime which had reduced were:
- Street drinking which was down 38 per cent from 684 offences last summer to 422 offences.
- Rowdy and inconsiderate behaviour which went from 11,862 incidents down to 10,265 incidents this year.
- Noise nuisance, which decreased from 2,014 to 1,859.
- Littering, down from 412 offences last year to 354 this year.
- Trespassing which was down six per cent, with 33 fewer incidents from 597 to 564.
But along with the nuisance communications, reports of neighbours from hell rose from 4,543 to 4,676 this summer and vehicle related nuisance rocketed by 218 crimes going from 2,287 reports last year to 2,505.
Categories which were labelled miscellaneous and behaviour not identified also saw an increase, totalling 1,885 compared to 1,667 last summer.
Inspector Mark Hull said to tackle the problem the police sent increased patrols to hot spots, visited schools and youth clubs ahead of the summer holidays and worked with licensees to tackle under-age drinking.
He said: “Tackling antisocial behaviour is a year-round priority for Hampshire Constabulary and we still have a lot of work to do to continue to reduce the level of ASB across the force.”
Among the work carried out by officers to tackle the problem over the summer included organising operations to tackle street drinking in Lordshill .

Shoong says Mitchell lost his temper, just because he was directed to another gate --- that makes it alright then, does it?
Try telling that to the grieving families and colleagues of the two young women cut down in their prime.
Mitchell should have the decency to resign and if he doesn't then Cameron should sack him today!!
Not to do so makes Cameron complicit in the whole disgusting episode.

Mitchell's description of the police officer was you are a ****ing pleb!
Is that Mitchell's, obviously long held opinion of all police officers, including the two who sacrificed their lives or just the one that gave him a minute's inconvenience by politely suggesting he used the correct entrance?
To insult a police officer at any time is objectionable but one who is stationed there specifically for Mitchell and his cronies protection and over such a minor thing??
Mitchell's so called apology at the entrance to Downing Street this morning was a travesty, he scurried away not having the guts to stay and answer the question, what exactly did you say Mr Mitchell?
I think the public whatever their political persuasions will draw there own conclusions about Mr Mitchell and his future.
Great pity Mr Cameron hasn't yet had the guts to do the right thing and sack him.

After all it cannot be easy for someone raised by a Tory MP, educated at Rugby and Cambridge, commissioned in the Tank Regiment, employed as an Investment Banker ( and we all know where he and his ilk got us!) to regard us ordinary citizens and the brave police officers who defend us as anything but plebs.
Unfortunately the foregoing apples to the whole Tory Cabinet, so I expect them to a man to close ranks and stick two fingers up to us plebs.
There's non so blind ---- and with that I will close my comments.

I told the operator I'd ring for the fire brigade when the kids fried. 101 is a rip off designed to persuade us not to report crime, when I queried this once with the KCC top brass I was told it was to cut down on silly and malicious calls. Apparently the cretins that make malicious calls are so stupid they will use the 10p + 101 number instead of the free 999. I think I was expected to swallow that bit of s**t.

That includes Mitchell and his abuse of the police because they would not open the main gates to Downing Street so that he could cycle through.
Not all yobs are young and unemployed!
Street drinking.
Noise nuisance.
Littering.
Trespassing.
Somehow I doubt Mr Mitchell will be in the dock for any of these offences soon.

Arrogant, ignorant, privileged, supposedly well educated, Mr Mitchell Government Chief Whip, or should that be Twit , insulted and swore at police officer stationed in Downing Street days after 2 police women were shot dead in cold blood.
Shoong says Mitchell lost his temper, just because he was directed to another gate --- that makes it alright then, does it?
Try telling that to the grieving families and colleagues of the two young women cut down in their prime.
Mitchell should have the decency to resign and if he doesn't then Cameron should sack him today!!
Not to do so makes Cameron complicit in the whole disgusting episode.
It's more distasteful perhaps using the murder of those police officers to try and score political points. Shame on you.
It is said that Actions speak louder than words, but in this case the Action included the words.

Yobish behaviour - blame the parents. A severe lack of parental control and discipline is one of main reasons for the appalling behaviour these days.
The police are limited by their powers and there own bosses - cant chase motorbikes in case the little **** riding it falls off and hurts himself.
Until these things change the police will always be on the back foot.
Dumb sh&t parents bring up dumb sh&t offspring.
