Antisocial Behaviour Orders: Devon

Volume 477: debated on Tuesday 17 June 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department pursuant to the answer of 10 June 2008, Official Report, columns 193-4W, on antisocial behaviour orders: Devon, how many of the antisocial behaviour orders issued in Devon and Cornwall in 2006 were breached; and how many offenders received (a) one and (b) two warnings in lieu of an antisocial behaviour order. (211550)

79 of the persons who had been issued with an antisocial behaviour order (ASBO) at a court located in the Devon and Cornwall criminal justice system (CJS) area between 1 June 2000 and 31 December 2006 have been proven in court to have breached their order at least once at some point before 31 December 2006. It is important to note, however, that an ASBO can be issued in one CJS area and breached in another. Therefore not all the 79 persons would necessarily have breached their ASBO in Devon and Cornwall.

Data on warnings are not collected centrally.
