Failure to Reassure as Threat
Failure to Reassure as Threat
This chapter provides a detailed analysis of the case law governing the imposition of an Anti-Social Behaviour Order (ASBO). It demonstrates first that the grounds for imposing an order are defined as any conduct that manifests a disposition that fails to reassure others about their security; and second that a finding of liability to an order is best understood as the exercise of a power in administrative law to make a risk assessment and preventive order rather than to impose a punishment. This analysis is deployed to critique the theory that the ASBO is a punishment for morally offensive behaviour.
Keywords: ASBO, Anti-Social Behaviour Order, Crime and Disorder Act 1998, fear of crime, offensiveness, respect, preventive orders
