Sheffield's young want crackdown on UK's Asbo culture

The police in England and Wales are called six times every minute to deal with problems like loud music, abandoned cars and abusive neighbours, according to a new report.

But the police watchdog says those kinds of complaints are often not taken seriously enough because some police officers don't see them as a proper crime.

A survey for the watchdog shows that one in five of the people who report antisocial behaviour to the police is under the age of 35.

It's thought many more incidents go unreported.

Forces in Cumbria, Cleveland, Manchester, South Wales and South Yorkshire have the highest number of calls.

Parson's Cross in Sheffield is one of the largest housing estates in South Yorkshire with around 19,000 people living there.

Millions of pounds of National Lottery and government money have been used to try to reduce antisocial behaviour in the area.

But the future is more uncertain at a time when police and local authority budgets are being cut.

Newsbeat went to ask young residents if it was having much impact.

Kaylee, 25

"It's not bad on my road but I wouldn't like to live anywhere near the shops.

"I don't feel safe walking round here at night-time on my own.

"There are groups of kids swearing, shouting at people, trying to get you to buy alcohol and throwing things.

"I have had trouble with people getting in to my back garden but we now have an individual police officer assigned to our road.

"I do think the police need to come out when you call them though and not three hours after it has finished."

Sammy and Lucy, 20 and 22

"It's not bad round here and there is a good community feel but we wouldn't walk around at night on our own.

"If there is a problem with antisocial behaviour there is no point calling the police because by the time they have come round the people involved have just got away with it."

Malachi, 15

"It's mostly peaceful round here to be honest.

"There is a bit of graffiti and vandalism but it's just a few bad lads and you just mind your own business and get on with it.

"To be honest I don't think the police would do much.

"I would report it but I'm not sure much would happen."

Chloe and Rebecca, 14

"We usually keep ourselves to ourselves but we wouldn't walk round here after dark.

"There are loads of idiots about and you've got to watch yourself.

"But you just used to it after a while.

Carl, 27

"There is nothing to do around here for people my age and our kids.

"There is too much violence but you do just get used to it.

"I wouldn't go to police though because I just keep myself to myself.

"I think the police have better things to do than deal with a few idiots making some noise."
