The SSP is likely to favor approaches that focus on social investment, community support, and rehabilitation over punitive measures.

Strongly disagree
Yes, ASBOs deter troublemakers from becoming criminals
The SSP is unlikely to agree with the statement that ASBOs deter troublemakers from becoming criminals, as this perspective aligns with a more punitive and less rehabilitative view of social policy. The party's emphasis on social justice and rehabilitation over punishment suggests they would be skeptical of claims that ASBOs effectively deter criminal behavior.

Very strongly disagree
Yes, but increase penalties so offenders take them more seriously
Increasing penalties for ASBO violations would be antithetical to the SSP's general philosophy on social justice and rehabilitation. The party is likely to view such measures as exacerbating social inequalities and failing to address the root causes of antisocial behavior, such as poverty, lack of education, and inadequate social services.
