Community safety, preventing crime and antisocial behaviour
South Northamptonshire has very low crime rates but in comparison, the number of people who fear crime is relatively high.
We know some people in our local communities are worried by antisocial behaviour and crime in our local villages and towns and we are working with communities to identify problems and come up with solutions.

Community Safety Partnership
We are part of a community Safety Partnerhsip which means we work with the police, the county council, local health services, the probation service, connexions, the voluntary sector and local schools to improve safety in communities and reduce antisocial behaviour, crime and the fear of crime.
The community Safety Partnership is part of the Local Strategic Partnership who have produced a community Strategy to set out what issues we think are important and what we will all be working towards until 2008.

Antisocial behaviour
If you're the victim of antisocial behaviour, it can be very distressing and frustrating. But there are things you can do.
If your dispute is with a neighbour, try talking to them to see if you can reach an understanding. Sometimes they may not realise they are causing a problem.
If you are worried about antisocial behaviour in your street, contact the police on
