FIGURES for all the anti-social behaviour offences in Berkshire’s towns have been released.
Anti-social behaviour, according to Metropolitan Police, is behaviour that causes harassment, alarm, or distress to another person.
It can include crimes such as littering, trespassing, street drinking, rowdy behaviour, nuisance noise and more.
Data from police.uk has revealed which part of the royal county suffers most from these particular offences.
Bracknell (Central South)
Police received 36 reports of anti-social behaviour in this part of Bracknell, which covers Wildridings, Easthampstead, Jennett’s Park and Birch Hill.

Abbey and Battle -- the central ward in Reading -- saw 386 crimes reported to police in March.
Of these, 45 were anti-social behaviour offences.

Slough
But if you head even further east, crime shoots up in Slough.

59 of these were related to anti-social behaviour, giving a percentage of 14.9 per cent.
Maidenhead and Newbury
In the royal borough, 201 crimes were reported in Maidenhead in March 2021.
Sadly, police data hasn’t recorded how many of these related to anti-social behaviour.
This is the same for Newbury, where 99 crimes were reported in this month.
