Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #5486 Behaviour 2
Instructions
We  all  have  our  own  ideas  about  what  constitutes  anti-social  behaviour,  some  of  us  being  more  tolerant  than  others,  but  the    definition  allows  for  a  fairly  broad  interpretation.  To  quote  the  Crime  and  Disorder  Act  of  1998,  it  is  behaviour  which  "causes  or  is  likely  to  cause  harassment,  alarm  or  distress  to  one  or  more  people  who  are  not  in  the  same  household  as  the  perpetrator".  Such  behaviour    writing  graffiti,  which  can  make  even  the  cleanest  urban  space  look  squalid,  making  excessive  noise,  especially  at  night,  and  throwing  litter  onto  the  streets.  Such  behaviour,  however,  affects  everyone  in  the  community,  and  requires  the  community  to  work  together  to  find  ways  of  dealing  with  it.
Just  as  the  problems  are  many  and  varied,  the  solution  too  must  work  effectively  on  many  levels.  Anti-social  behaviour  is  not  confined  to  any  particular    group,  and  it  affects  the  quality  of  life  of  young  and  old  .  This  in  turn  means  that  it  needs  an  active  partnership  between  all  of  the  various  social  groups  that  make  up  society.  More  than  an  efficient  police  force  is  required.  Schools,  for  example,  need  to  have  effective  rules  to  deal  with  truancy  and  bullying.  Landlords  should  take    for  anti-social  behavior  by  or  against  their  tenants.  The  same  also  goes  for  local  authorities  and  social  services  when  taking  decisions  that  affect  the  community.  Furthermore,  they  need  to  share  information  as  openly  as  possible.
