Crime and Policing Bill

The Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 is a UK law that consolidates and expands law enforcement powers to address anti-social behaviour, replacing anti-social behaviour orders (ASBOs) with criminal behaviour orders. The act was introduced to address concerns about the high breach rates of ASBOs and the need for alternative community-based social control policies. It puts victims first by making the process of obtaining injunctions quicker and easier, with a lower burden of proof required in civil courts. The act consolidates 19 previous mechanisms for addressing anti-social behaviour into six, including civil injunctions, Criminal Behaviour Orders, and closure orders. It also enables councils and housing associations to evict tenants found guilty of anti-social behaviour.learn more on wikipedia
