Answer: No. Anti-Social Behaviour Orders should normally be sought when other methods of dealing with the behaviour are considered inappropriate OR have failed. However, the Home Office guidance makes clear that “whilst ASBOs should be seen in this wider context there is no requirement to demonstrate that every other remedy has been exhausted before applying for an ASBO”. The key is that an ASBO should be used where it is the most appropriate remedy.
