Tony Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 I think you're missing the point Derek. The thread asked... 'What sort of behaviour do You think the Anti-Social Behaviour Act covers' I posted an example of (IMO) good and bad implementation of the powers. I wasn't indicating that there was any sort of exclusive argument on the subject. I'm well aware that ASBO'sa re used for lots of things and I thought that was obvious from my post. As for the Police, do you expect them to ignore the issues that I raised? The Police don't do 'either / or' selections. They have the crappy job of somehow trying to enforce ALL criminal law and some civil law with patchy back up from the public, the Courts, the CPS and the Government, whilst coping with the paltry resources that they are allocated. Back on topic - I personally think that ASBO's are a good thing if properly used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzieq Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I agree with Tony, but I wonder if giving these powers to council officers is the right thing. It would make more sense to set up independent bodies to implement the act and collect the necassary evidence from all the services involved. The rules also seem to differ from city to city which for an act with such serious consequences seem wrong. I don't think that it is at all well thought out.

mancom Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 There'd be a lot less truancy in school if schools dealt with bullying. Secondly if there were sufficient jobs for youngsters to go to after they've left school then pupils might have more respect for teachers and the curriculum.

Regards the Act not being well thought out - it was probably rushed through by Government as a knee-jerk reaction to the public's frustration with how others behave.

mancom Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Autistics are very anti-social. They are rude in everything they do. How autistics behave is threatening because they do things physically rather than through speech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
