Do you support the use of Antisocial Behaviour Orders (ASBOs)?

Education should begin at school and be a LOT more in depth to deter people going into criminal lifestyles.

Yes, but these orders should be reformed, to only include behaviour with victims. Penalties should be reformed also; focusing on rehabilitation over punishment/humiliation.

Yes but rehabilitation

yes but increase age

What does this mean?

Yes, but not for things like begging or anything related to vagrancy. Homeless people should not be punished for being homeless.

yes but dont lock them up just monitor them

Yes, but if the beggars are homeless people, leave them out of it. Everyone else in there can get what they get. We have seen a devolution of public behaviour over the last few years and rising crime rates. The public are sick of it.

No, the current implementation of the concept is classist (begging) and racist (what is often let off with a warning for a white person is taken further for people of colour, epecially black teenage boys)

No, ASBOS historically do not achieve its aims. We should focus more on other methods of social support and anti-social behaviour management.

Yes for some behaviours that could be considered crimes, but no for behaviours that could fall under free speech and/or freedom of expression.

Yes if it is a last resort, but work on better mental health services and getting to the route of the problem first

Only if the “antisocial behaviour” in question can be proven to cause harm to the offender and/or those around them

Young offenders who have ASBOS should instead be forced to join the military, like a national service

No, They don't make a good deterrent. People use an ASBO as a badge of honour. Its had the opposite effect.

No, waste of time. Bring back corporal punishment. Public beatings and humiliation of low level criminals - would make great tv - I would watch ….

Yes, as long as punishments are light and fair. The content of the speech made should never factor into the crime.

Instead of punishing young offenders, offer the free therapy and support and education away from their poor home life.

Yes and no, depends on the circumstances and individual(s), and, or the crime(s) and offence(s) committed, but overall, no I do bot support the use of them, I agree with discipline, accountability, and safeguarding, but ASBOS given are typically racist and discriminatory, and detrimental, also very ableist, things like mental health, criminality etc should be reworked and reformed, and have more education and training surrounding such.

Yes but I think we need youth centres back and to actually put time and money into listening to young people, supporting them and channeling their energy into doing good and feeling like they're worth something.

It depends on the type of antisocial behaviour displayed

No it is a waste of time

We should focus on community care and support to avoid antisocial behaviours

Dunno what it is

Yes - but make it a court procedure

No but increase fines for young offenders

Varies on severity of crime.

No but they are necessary.

Neutral stance, depends on circumstances and I feel mental and physical health, and family lives of many who get ASBO'S whilst in some minor cases it may help, it's not affective long term and not really helpful, we should be looking at reforming and bettering mental and general health services and resources, rehabilitation programmes etc, especially where youth and young offenders are concerned

They don’t work. Provide something for younger people to actually do. This is caused by a poor education system

No, and shift the current funding in this area into education and activities for young people to prevent them turning to this behaviour

No, commuinty service is a more productive and rehabilitative punishment.

provide rehabilitation

Yes, but remove harmless behaviours like begging and loitering from being defined as antisocial.

Yes, but begging should not be considered anti-social behaviour.

Yes, but provide support to encourage people towards prosocial behaviours, instead of just penalties

No one bothers about asbo's anymore

Stops people being wankers W

yes but non-monetary penalties only

different penalties eg education or courses

Yes to some extent.

ASBOs are frequently abused by power hungry police

No, some of these are much less serious issues than others and they should not be in the same category

I neither support nor am against ASBO use. I’d prefer to find more rehabilitative methods of dealing with those lacking in social skills.

yes but only for substantial offences

No, there is little evidence that they form an effective deterrent and in some case can prevent reformed young offenders finding work later in life.

Yes, but increase spending on social programs to help reduce the need for ASBOs

No, labelling a young person can have a detrimental effect, and actually push them towards further offending than away

No, more work should be put in place to deter anti-social behaviour, such as the creation of free public spaces where teenagers can spend time, like libraries and parks
