The characteristics that identified causes of ASB in LBE were present in 87.6% of the cohort studied.  The four most common perpetrators of ASB were council tenants in council houses 26.4% (95% CI: 1123.8 to 1801.2), youth gangs 25.3% (95% CI: -105.2 to 572.2), neighbours in their own homes 19.8% (95% CI: -236.7 to 440.7) and HMO tenants 5.7% (95% CI: -247.7 to 429.7). The risk factors for ASB were: fly-tipping (p<0.001), missed bin collections (p<0.001), neighbour disputes (p<0.01), youth gangs (p=0.03) and rowdy behaviour (p= 0.01). Multivariate analysis showed fly-tipping by council tenants in council housing to be a significant predictor of ASB (Odds Ratio = 4.82, z = 2.3, p < 0.001) at 360 days.

Results of the Enfield Landlords Prospective Study on anti-social behaviour with the London Borough of Enfield are given below.  The 80-month study show with a 99.9% confidence level that the main cause of ASB in the borough is fly-tipping

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is shown in the ANOVA table below.
