VICTIMS of antisocial behaviour live in constant fear, says the widow of a man killed by thugs.
Victims' Commissioner Helen Newlove told the Mirror that the Government must do more for such victims, who feel ignored.
Baroness Newlove's family had suffered abuse, violence and aggression, which started with beer bottles being thrown into their garden and vandalism of their property.
Then, in August 2007, her husband Garry, 47, confronted drunken youths defacing her car in Padgate, Cheshire. They kicked him to death in front of his daughters.
Baroness Newlove said: "Imagine living in constant fear in your own home. Imagine the daily torment of harassment, intimidation, or vandalism. This is the grim reality for victims of anti-social behaviour."
But she said police look at ASB as a neighbourly nuisance - until it gets too serious to ignore.
