Title: A State of Disorder: Moving Beyond the ASBO in Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour

Summary: This report contends that while some limited progress has been made in tackling anti-social behavior, there are a host of weaknesses with the U.K. Government's approach. It suggests a new approach that includes the following: emphasises the importance of local leadership and self-governance; reinvigorates local policing through enhanced accountability and freedom from central direction; encourages personal and community responsibility through building social capital; and is based on the best available evidence about what works to reduce anti-social behavior.
