Antisocial Behaviour is a phenomenon across the world. It isn’t about cities but it’s certainly a strong feature of living in one. It’s now not uncommon for a friend anywhere in the world to say a stranger has been acting up in a public place they were in too. It’s worth mentioning just because of the shock of it.
The symptoms are now a familiar story on social media too. A person is heard talking or shouting over general conversation or even a respectful silence. There’s an air of aggressiveness but it’s not necessarily present in action. The belief is that he or she may get into a confrontation with someone.
The scenario is not so innocent, and not a lot can be read into. I’ve seen all types of people diving into it. I’ve also noticed ‘strangers’ in the same place watching it intently. It’s my belief it’s a setup to make some sort of gain or to cause a false alarm. It’s then used later in a crime.
How it’s dealt with is up to Police forces across the world. The perpetrators and actors may not be willing to give up so easily, so a professional approach is needed to drive it out. The risks involved are huge if it’s a part of organised crime, and this in itself is a reason to take a cautious approach to it.
