What is an Anti-Social Behaviour Order (ASBO)?
An ASBO protects the public from behaviour which causes alarm, harassment or distress. An ASBO, whilst not a punishment, will contain conditions which will prohibit the activities that caused the problem. It is a criminal offence to break and ASBO and if an individual does, he or she can be arrestedan taken back to court.

What is an Acceptable Behaviour Contract (ABC) ?
An ABC is a voluntary agreement made between the individual responsible for anti-social behaviour (ASB) and the Police and Council. It sets out ways in which the individual will behave in the future and contains a commitment by the individual not to do certain things. An ABC usually lasts for six months. If after this time the ASB is still continuing then the individual responsible will be visited by the ASB team.
