 So, there are Anti-Social Behaviour Laws in the UK. 

Against these guys...  

Croydon, as you can see, is a working men spot. This is the British Working Class and it is  a great place. Come at that time there, an early evening, when everyone is heading home and have some Fish'n'Chips or a Curry in a take away. Maybe you get a small cup of tea somewhere, quite late, and take some last groceries. Be easy. Be slow. Await the Sofa at home and some BBC or Channel 5. Walk around and breath the mix of sea and urban air. Take in the mix of smells and watch the people stride by and hang out.

It is a relaxed atmosphere, actually, but it does not need many to cut that down. 

Instead of starting to build up on the street with more urban furniture, getting more places to rest into the road, Thugs attract Police and they will go against everyone challenging the Thugs... with even greater punishment. But Cops are around frequenting, it is usually too late already. The place lost its relaxed, easy atmosphere by a thug screaming and shouting and spitting finding no fist to cut him down, as back in The City until the 60ies.

Get it?? They don't have to chat and bro fist with any of the guys standing around disturbing the good peace. They could ban them and arrest them, every second. This way, they knowingly or not participate in disturbing the good peace.

 London's anti-social behaviour (ASB) laws, primarily under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, empower authorities (police, councils, landlords) with tools like Community Protection Notices (CPNs) and Civil Injunctions to tackle issues like noise, littering, or public nuisance, giving victims a voice via the Community Trigger, with escalating penalties for non-compliance, including fines and imprisonment, to protect community quality of life. 
 

Key Legislation & Powers
   Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014: This Act provides police and local 

       authorities with flexible powers, putting victims first.
    Community Protection Notice (CPN): Issued by councils or police to individuals (16+) or 

      businesses for persistent, unreasonable behaviour (e.g., noise, dumping rubbish) that spoils 

      the community's quality of life.
    Civil Injunctions: Court orders to stop specific ASB, with penalties for breaches.
    Criminal Behaviour Orders (CBOs): For more serious ASB, imposing conditions like curfews 

      or bans.
    Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs): Local authorities can create orders restricting 

      activities (like alcohol consumption or dog fouling) in specific areas.
    Dispersal & Closure Powers: Temporary powers to disperse groups or close premises 

      causing serious disorder. 

What Qualifies as ASB?
It's conduct causing, or likely to cause, harassment, alarm, or distress, or nuisance/annoyance in relation to someone's home. Examples include: 

    Noise nuisance, graffiti, fly-tipping.
Drug-related anti-social behaviour.
Street drinking or anti-social use of e-bikes/scooters (with new seizure powers coming). 

How It Works in London
    Reporting: Report non-emergency ASB to the police via 101 or online; for immediate danger, 

      call 999.
    Multi-Agency Response: Local authorities and other agencies work together.
    Community Trigger (ASB Case Review): If you've reported persistent ASB and feel no action 

      is taken, you can trigger a review for agencies to coordinate.
    Enforcement: Warnings lead to CPNs, then potentially fines or court orders (injunctions/

     CBOs). 

Penalties for Non-Compliance
Breaching a CPN can lead to a fine (£100-£2,500) or criminal offence. Breaching a CBO can result in up to 5 years' prison or an unlimited fine for adults.
