Page "Theresa May" Paragraph 20
from
Wikipedia
On 28 July 2010, May proposed to review the previous Labour Party government's anti-social behaviour legislation signalling the abolition of the " Anti-Social Behaviour Order " ( ASBO ).
She identified the policy's high level of failure with almost half of ASBOs breached between 2000 and 2008, leading to " fast track " criminal convictions.
May proposed a less punitive, community-based approach to tackling social disorder.
May suggested that anti-social behaviour policy " must be turned on its head ", reversing the ASBO's role as the flagship crime control policy legislation under Labour.
Former Labour Home Secretaries David Blunkett ( who introduced ASBOs ) and Alan Johnson expressed their disapproval of the proposals.
