The decision to ban Borat-style mankinis has helped a seaside town shed its 'Wild West' image as a haven1 for stag and hen parties after cutting crime and drunken anti-social behaviour, police say.

警察称，一个海边小镇禁穿波拉特风格（Borat-style）的男士比基尼泳衣后，犯罪及醉酒等反社会行为减少，摆脱了“狂野西部”、婚前单身派对天堂的形象。
 
Figures show anti-social behaviour and criminal activity in the Cornish town of Newquay has fallen since 2009.
 
Officers say a determination to tackle excess drinking, public disorder2 and the wearing of inappropriate clothing such as mankinis - skimpy male bikini-style bathing costumes popularised by the comedy character Borat - has helped reduce crime.
 
Devon and Cornwall Police inspector3 Dave Meredith, the town's most senior policeman, said: 'When you speak to anybody from patrol officers to PCSOs, partners in town, shop keepers, everybody says Newquay has made a miraculous4 improvement.
 
Five or six years ago and more, Newquay was a little bit of a Wild West town. It had a bad reputation nationally.
 
'People expected to come to Newquay to drink a lot, behave irresponsibly, a lot of really young people came to Newquay and knew they had a good chance of getting drunk. Certainly we have clamped down on that and the image of Newquay now has certainly curtailed5 some of that.'
