Which term describes actions that cause trouble or annoyance to a community?

• A. Harassment
• B. Nuisance ASB
• C. Disturbance
• D. Disorder

Answer: (B)

The key idea is understanding how anti-social behaviour (ASB) is categorized by the impact on the community. Nuisance ASB describes actions that cause trouble or annoyance to the public or a community at large, rather than targeting a specific person. It covers behaviours that are undesirable and create a nuisance for residents, such as persistent loud noise, littering, or other activities that irritate the community but aren’t necessarily violent.

Why this fits best: it directly names the kind of behaviour that affects the community as a whole and is recognized as a category within ASB. The other terms describe different patterns: harassment involves actions aimed at intimidating or upsetting individuals or groups; disturbance refers to interfering with others’ peace or comfort but isn’t the formal community-nuisance category; disorder implies broader public unrest or chaotic behaviour. So, the term that best encapsulates actions causing trouble or annoyance to a community is nuisance ASB.
