Residents have called for action after anti-social behaviour has risen by more than half in one part of Nottingham.
A council document shows that incidents have increased by 55.9% this year "as a result of coronavirus calls".
As a result, Nottinghamshire police PCSOs in the area have "high visibility patrols and intervention with younger groups".
The report said officers' priorities in Clifton East and West are to "reduce Anti-Social Behaviour, including mini-motors, noise, intimidating behaviour, and tram issues".
It added: "This has been done through involvement with youth activities through the statutory and 3rd sector provisions."
Louise Redgate, who works at Clifton Post Office in Southchurch Drive, said: "There have been more loitering kids around, they're getting bored.
"I definitely agree with those figures. There's been a lot going on at the parks, kids are being attacked.
"I can't blame it on the pandemic, I blame it on individual kids. The police can do what they like but when these kids get to court and they don't even get a penalty, it doesn't solve the problem.
"I was brought up in a strict family and I think they need to be named and shamed or out litter picking."
Hot spots for anti-social behaviour are Breckswood park, Waterdown park, Southchurch Drive and Clifton Flower Park.
Margaret Piper, of Clifton, said: "I think younger people and teenagers are causing it.
"If the police come out and warn them they just ignore it. I don't know what else they can do about it.
"I’m not being funny, even if they’re bored there’s no need for it when we are in lockdown.
"Something needs to be done about it."
Clifton resident Lisa Rodgers said: "I’ve not noticed anything and I walk through Clifton at around 8am and again at 6pm.
"There are groups of kids around at the moment and you wonder if they should be together.
"But that number has baffled me really.
"Unless they are noticing it more now because there’s more police about at the minute."
Resident George Clark added: "I actually think it has been better recently. I walk around the high street and the parks every day and I haven't noticed any anti-social behaviour.
"It used to be filthy around here but now they've got people clearing it up which is nice.
"I don't hang around with the youths but I don't think there's a need for more police here.
"In general, I don’t see a problem."
