One in two people in Corby believe anti-social behaviour is a problem |
The National Audit Office used official figures to assess residents' perceptions of anti-social behaviour.
Analysis of the data suggested 48.8% of adults in Corby believed bad behaviour was a problem.
The study also suggests 17% of the population across England thought there were high levels of anti-social behaviour in general.
As part of its report The Home Office: Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour, the National Audit Office (NAO) said the percentage of people who believed anti-social behaviour was a problem had risen from 16% two years ago.
The survey of all English local authorities suggested almost one in two people believed so-called "yobbish" behaviour was a big or fairly big problem in Corby.
Bristol was named as the place with the fewest perceived anti-social problems with only 5.7% of residents describing it as a big or fairly big issue.
The report also suggested about 55% of anti-social behaviour orders had been breached.
The Asbos were either breached by offenders committing more offences or by breaking the terms of the order.
The NAO said 35% of Asbo holders breached the order on five or more occasions, but the average number was four per person.
The government said the findings did not mean Asbos were failing.
