Antisocial Behaviour Orders: Enfield

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many antisocial behaviour orders were issued in the London Borough of Enfield in each of the last 10 years. (202860)

Antisocial behaviour orders (ASBOs) became available in April 1999. The latest available information on the number of ASBOs issued goes up to 31 December 2006. The available information is shown in the following tables.

ASBO data were available broken down by local authority areas up to December 2005. Data for 2006 are available at criminal justice system (CJS) area level only so data for Greater London have been provided for that period. CJS areas are coterminous with police force areas.

*Number of ASBOs issued at all courts, as reported to the Home Office by the Court Service, where restrictions were imposed within the London borough of Enfield, by period up to 31 December 2005*
Period
	1 April 1999 to 31 May 2000¹	1 June 2000 to 31 December 2000	2001	2002	2003	2004	2005	1 April 1999 to 31 December 2005
All persons	n/a	—	—	—	2	4	15	21
n/a = Not available. ¹ Between 1 April 1999 to 31 May 2000, data were collected on aggregate numbers only by police force area (PFA). Notes: 1. This local authority area table differs from criminal justice system area (CJSA) tables in that an issuing court can be outside the area in which the restrictions have been imposed. For example, an issuing court may be in Hertfordshire (CJSA) but restrictions apply solely to a local authority area within Greater London. 2. Previously issued data have been revised following joint Home Office/Court Service data reconciliation exercises. 3. Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the courts. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used.
