Home Office surveys young people on antisocial behaviour
Per Community Newsire, funded by the Home Office's Active Community Unit, the Government has recently polled Britons about their perceptions of anti-social behaviour, all in preparation for their Respect campaign. Hopefully, we'll get a copy of the full report soon.
Apparently, the majority of young people polled are frustrated with the ASB perpetrated by a minority around them, though acknowledge that they are (negatively) steroetyped by the clothes they wear. And, "researchers also found those questioned are embracing traditional values, with many insisting that young people should respect their elders and calling for improved manners." That ties in very nicely with the Government's campaign, then.
