Material type: BookPublisher: London : Century, 2020Description: 304 pages ; 23 cm.ISBN: 9781529124774 (hbk.) :; 1529124778 (hbk.) :.Classification number: 364.4092 PETSubject(s): Pettigrew, Nick -- Career in social work | Social work with criminals -- Great Britain | Criminal behavior -- Great Britain | Crime | True CrimeSummary: Has your life become unbearable because the person living above you has a fondness for crack cocaine, the company of strangers and dance music? Or maybe you're a social worker, mental health nurse, police officer, firefighter, dog warden or vicar and you've been landed with someone who's a pain in the arse. Who are you going to call? That would be me: an anti-social behaviour officer. 'Anti-Social' is the diary of a council worker whose job is to keep his community happy, or at least away from each other's throats. That's hard enough at the best of times but when government cuts mean that hospitals, social services, and police are all at breaking point, the possibility of complete chaos is never far away. This is an urgent, timely but, most of all, hysterically funny true story of a life spent working with the people society wants to forget and the problems that nobody else can resolve.Item type | Current library | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds | |
