Anti-Social Behavior Orders (ASBOs) have become the main sanction for dealing with anti-social behavior in the UK. This book provides one of the first assessments of this sanction, which has become widely used but remains extremely controversial. The report is based on detailed interviews with ASBO recipients, practitioners, and community representatives in areas affected by anti-social behavior. Examining its use and impact from these various perspectives, the book assesses the effects of ASBOs on the behavior and attitudes of recipients, as well as examining the various issues which arise in relation to their implementation. The report should be read by academics and students who want to make sense of ASBOs, practitioners who are involved in implementing them, as well as policy makers who are responsible for designing this sanction. It will also be of interest to all those who have an interest in addressing the issue of anti-social behavior.
