Commenting on today's speech by the Home Secretary in which she said it was 'time to move beyond' Anti Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs), Co-Chair of the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Committee for Home Affairs and Justice, Tom Brake said:
"The Home Secretary has listened to Liberal Democrat concerns.
"With more than half of ASBOs breached in 2008, this was a policy more about posturing than effective policing. Local communities know that other measures, such as Acceptable Behaviour Contracts can nip problems in the bud before they escalate.
"Resorting to ASBOs was a sign of failure."
