The party promised to “ban persistent adult offenders from town centres, which will stamp out issues such as public drinking and drug use” in its manifesto.
Anti-social behavior orders, or ASBOs, were first introduced by the Blair administration and are now widely seen as a failure.
Labour never achieved its goal of lowering reoffending; half were broken, two thirds more than once. In 2014, they were discarded.
The scope of respect orders seems to be somewhat similar to that of ASBOs; according to policing minister Dame Diana Johnson, the procedure for implementing them is still being worked out on News.
Rather, she reiterated the overall goal of the new plan.
According to Dame Diana, [their] goal will be to stop those repeat offenders who are inciting antisocial behavior in our towns across the nation from entering public places like parks or town centers.Although the previous Labour government “identified a problem and tried to deal with it” by increasing the number of police on the streets and passing laws allowing people to be prosecuted, Dame Diana acknowledged that the government wasn’t perfect on the matter.
