Anti-social behaviour (ASB) has been a major preoccupation of New
Labour's project of social and political renewal, with ASBOs a
controversial addition to crime and disorder management powers.
Thought by some to be a dangerous extension of the power to
criminalise, by others as a vital dimension of local governance,
there remains a concerning lack of evidence as to whether or not
they compound social exclusion. This collection, from an impressive
panel of contributors, brings together opinion, commentary,
research evidence, professional guidance, debate and critique in
order to understand the phenomenon of anti-social behaviour. It
considers the earliest available evidence in order to evaluate the
Government's ASB strategy, debates contrasting definitions of
anti-social behaviour and examines policy and practice issues
affected by it. Contributors ask what the recent history of ASB
governance tells us about how the issue will develop to shape
public and social policies in the years to come. Reflecting the
perspectives of practitioners, victims and perpetrators, the book
should become the standard text in the field.
