Prohibitions against offensive conduct have existed for many years,
but their extent and use was on the decline. Recently, however,
several jurisdictions, including England and Wales, have moved to
broaden the reach and severity of measures against incivilities.
New measures include expanded targeting of unpopular forms of
public conduct, such as begging, and legislation authorising
magistrates to issue prohibitory orders against anti-social
behaviour. Because these quality-of-life prohibitions can be so
restrictive of personal liberties, it is essential to develop
adequate guiding and limiting principles concerning State
intervention in this area. This book addresses the legal regulation
of offensive behaviour. Topics include: the nature of
offensiveness; the grounds and permissible scope of criminal
prohibitions against offensive behaviour; the legitimacy of civil
orders against incivilities; and identifying the social trends that
have generated current political interest in preventing
incivilities through intervention of law. These questions are
addressed by eleven distinguished philosophers, criminal law
theorists, criminologists, and sociologists. In an area that has
attracted much public comment but little theoretical analysis to
date, these essays develop a fuller conceptual framework for
debating questions about the legal regulation of offensive
behaviour.
