    Tonight on the TV News some of the comments were about Binge drinking in the town centres, and the problems with the ASBOs’
    I think a good answer for the binge drinking would be where all the trouble occurs put extra tax on the pub/club concerned on the price of their drink this wouldn’t penalise the places that conform with the law. I think this would bring the places with the trouble into line very quick when their sales drop of.
    ASBOs’
    Vandals trouble makers,and yobs who make our lives misserable. Whisk them away from their parents to a penal or nearby army camp and make them work in a labour gang like they do in the states These gangs could help out local councils working six days a week for as long as the sentance.
    I don’t think you’d get many re-offending.
    Anyway food for thought think about it.

  • ASBO,s do work it is the courts who let the system down with soft sentences with breaches making it no deterant.

  • ABSOs were a good idea when they came in the trouble is that most of the original safeguards have been dismantled and the schemes widened to cover normal social activity so now practically anyone employed by a Council can now fine practically anyone with anyone allowing the laws to be implemented selectively to victimise individuals

    Meanwhile the real criminals have got wise know exactly how to play the ASBO system making it a bit of a farce.

  • You’re kidding? ASBOs were never a good idea. They fly in the face of “innocent until proven guilty” and allow people to be locked up without trial. They have helped the steady slide towards a police state and should be scrapped as soon as possible. Most, if not all, anti-social behaviour can be categorised as other behaviour for which there are penalties (e.g. intimidation) that can be applied AFTER you’ve been found guilty of any allegation made against you.
