Labour’s answer: Yes, ASBOs deter troublemakers from becoming criminals ASBOs were the flagship policy at the heart of New Labour's crime crackdown. Introduced in 1998, they allowed councils to apply to the courts to prevent individuals from engaging in all kinds of non-criminal behaviours, such as shouting, spitting, or even entering certain areas, as long as it was likely to cause "harassment, alarm or distress". Crucially, while Asbos were a civil order, breaching them was a criminal offence, punishable by a fine and/or imprisonment of up to five years.Source

Conservative’s answer: No Senior Labour figures mounted a last-ditch defence of antisocial behaviour orders tonight after the home secretary, Theresa May, indicated she is to kill off Tony Blair's flagship measure to deal with youth crime. May said it was "time to move beyond the asbo", arguing that they were never the promised silver bullet and had too often put young people on a conveyor belt to prison.Source

British National’s answer: Yes The group of Muslim men have been given the anti-social behaviour order (ASBO) that will restrict their behaviour at religious events. Some however suggest that such an order might breach their - you guessed it, their human rights! The ASBO's we are lead to believe will ban these clowns from gathering in large groups after violent outbursts at a rally led by radical hate preacher Anjem Choudary. Four of them have been served with a three-year anti-social behaviour order that also prevents them from carrying flags or setting fire to items in protest. The Judge Paul Worsley QC in giving the ASBO's said the orders were necessary to protect members of the public.

Sinn Féin’s answer: No The fact that not one ASBO has been issued since their introduction vindicates Sinn Féin's argument that they were little more than an election ploy. What was and is needed to tackle anti-social behaviour is the enforcement of pre-existing public order laws and investment in communities. The last government introduced an unnecessary and potentially damaging measure which was never going to address anti-social behaviour but was designed solely to secure their return to government. "The Green Party promised voters in their election manifesto that they will repeal ASBOs. In light of the evidence which vindicates the position on ASBOs taken by both Sinn Féin and the Green Party when they were introduced by the Criminal Justice Bill 2006 I am calling on the Green Party to live up to their commitment and arrange for ASBO provisions to be removed from the statute book.Source
