Your FAQ

Question: What is an ASBO?

Answer: Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBO) are intended to put an end to persistent and serious anti-social behaviour that makes life a misery for communities. It is a “community based order” similar to an injunction and can involve local people in collection of evidence and helping to enforce breaches.

An ASBO sets out a list of behaviours that the defendant is prohibited from doing or locations they are prohibited from going to. Prohibitions in an ASBO must relate to identified anti-social behaviour therefore the agency applying for the order must show that:

a) the defendant behaved in an anti-social manner
b) the prohibitions set out relate to this behaviour
c) an order is necessary to protect people from further anti-social behaviour.
