Agree

Yes, but increase penalties so offenders take them more seriously

While Labour has supported the use of ASBOs, there is less consensus within the party on whether penalties should be increased. Some members may argue for stronger penalties, while others may focus on alternative approaches to tackling antisocial behaviour, such as community-based interventions.
