Report anti-social behaviour and hate incidents
What we're doing to reduce anti-social behaviour and hate incidents and how to report them.
About anti-social behaviour and hate incidents
Anti-social behaviour is behaviour that causes alarm, distress or harassment to you or your family.
This includes:
- shouting and swearing
- violence or threatening violence
- verbal abuse
- intimidation of neighbours
- some criminal activity
What we do
Everyone in Brighton & Hove has a right to feel safe.
We work alongside partner agencies to address crime and community safety issues.
We have dedicated staff working in the areas of:
- racist and religiously motivated incidents and crimes
- LGBT hate incidents and crimes
- disability hate incidents and crimes
- domestic violence
- anti-social behaviour
We also signpost and refer to other services.
If you’ve experienced any form of hate or anti-social behaviour, report it. We will listen to you and take you seriously.

True Vision online reporting to the local police
What we cannot help with
We cannot help if:
- something needs an immediate response, as our team is a casework service rather than an emergency response service
- you do not know the identity (name or address) of those involved in ASB or hate incidents - in this case, you may want to report the incident to Sussex police for them to investigate, we do not have any power to require someone to provide their name, address, or date of birth
- a report has already been made to the police as this could interfere with a police investigation
- drug use and drug dealing crimes are committed, as these are criminal offences - report these to Sussex Police by phoning:
- 999 in an emergency or if the crime is taking place
- 101 or complete the Sussex Police form at any other time
Other services you can use
Contact:
- Environmental Health (EHL) to report a noise problem - we do not deal with noise cases unless there are also ASB or hate incidents involved
- City Clean to report a litter or waste problem and request a clean-up such as drug litter and fly-tipping
- Streetlink to find out how we help rough sleepers in the city and to let us know you're concerned about someone living on the street including those living in tents
ASB and hate incidents case review
The ASB case review is a process you can use to ask agencies to review their response to anti-social behaviour or hate incidents you have reported.
