A.S.B.O

An Anti Social Behaviour Order can be given for almost any reason under the sun. They have been around for so long and really pose no threat to anyone. Its almost impossible to police anti-social behaviour without infringing on normal freedom or everday behaviour.

For Example (and this is just one of many), a woman in Wearside was given an ASBO for making too much noise during sex... (incredible). But unfortunately the asbo prevented her from making any loud noise at all, so that means she could so easily breach her terms at a concert.. or a party... (anyways.. she did break the ASBO 5 times with co-partner in crime 'steve')

I feel a man called Paul Cavadino (who is the head of NACRO effectively an ASBO charity) makes a good point about ASBOs claiming they are mostly handed to youths of 10-17, leading to these youths labelling themselves as criminals by being youthful. However i do disagree in the way that this behaviour was bad long before ASBOs, and it seems just to be the unfortunate 'British' way of life growing up.
