Do you know where your child is or what they are doing?
Anti-social behaviour can cause misery to its victims and can also ruin the future for its perpetrators. Criminal damage, graffiti, drunkeness, public order, assaults, thefts, arsons etc are all offences that local youths have been arrested for recently.
The majority of them are committed by members of large groups who begin by committing low level anti social behaviour (just having a laugh) that escalates.
Convictions for these offences can ruin your child’s future, they may be disqualified from gainful employment for a number of years and in certain professions permanently.
They may also be breaching your tenancy agreements and could lead to you being evicted.
If you want to discuss any concerns please contact your local neighbourhood policing team or attend the next PACT (Police and communities together) meeting in your area. Details can be found on Durham Constabulary’s website or telephone 0345 6060365.
