Agree

Yes, but increase penalties so offenders take them more seriously

The Liberal Democrats have called for reforms to ASBOs, which could include increasing penalties to make them more effective. However, their focus has been more on addressing the root causes of antisocial behavior and providing support to individuals at risk, rather than simply increasing penalties. For example, in their 2010 election manifesto, they proposed replacing ASBOs with a new system that would include early intervention and support for young people at risk of offending.

Slightly agree

Yes

The Liberal Democrats have a mixed stance on ASBOs. While they recognize the need for measures to address antisocial behavior, they have also criticized ASBOs for being ineffective and overly punitive. For example, in 2009, then party leader Nick Clegg called for a review of ASBOs, arguing that they were not working as intended.

Neutral

Yes, ASBOs deter troublemakers from becoming criminals

The Liberal Democrats have not consistently argued that ASBOs deter troublemakers from becoming criminals. While they may agree with this statement to some extent, their criticisms of ASBOs and calls for reform suggest that they do not view them as a highly effective deterrent.

Slightly disagree

No

While the Liberal Democrats have criticized ASBOs, they have not outright rejected their use. Instead, they have called for reforms and alternative approaches to address antisocial behavior. This suggests that they do not completely disagree with the use of ASBOs, but rather believe they need to be improved or replaced with more effective measures.
