"The reality is that ASBOs are being used far beyond their initial remit of dealing with vandals and nuisance neighbours. Behaviour that is overtly noncriminal is being criminalised and society’s vulnerable groups are being targeted. Increasingly it is behaviour that is different rather than ‘antisocial’ that is being penalised."
