Currently, the UK enforces anti-social behaviour orders (ASBOs) which tell an individual over 10 years old how they must not behave. Examples of anti-social behaviour include: arson, begging, dangerous driving, defecating/urinating in public, disturbing the peace, dogging, drug use, drunken behaviour, fare evasion, homophobia, intimidation, littering, loitering, noise pollution, racism, rioting, rudeness, smoking in public places, spitting, stealing, mugging, vandalism, and graffiti. Penalties for individuals proven to behave antisocially include fines, being banned from certain locations, and/or spending time with people who are known as trouble-makers for at least two years.

Good citizenship should be part of the national curriculum by law. Where this proves inadequate, troublemakers, especially persistent ones, should be sent to secure re'education centres where they will be subject to a 'carrot and stick' type of system.
@SparkEz03yrs3Y
Yes but they should be resigned.
@8PZZXF33yrs3Y
No. People collect them like a badge of honour, they are pointless.
@8PXMNJ83yrs3Y
I would need to read more into it
@8PWB9FQ3yrs3Y
Preventative action and mediation might be more effective
@8PSKX9D3yrs3Y
No! They are draconian and an ineffective waste of time and money. The police and courts hardly ever use them anyway.
