End of the ASBO: “community trigger” scheme to tackle anti-social behaviour – Halsbury’s Law Exchange

However, fanfare or no fanfare, the Act is coming into force this month (in the main) on 20 October 2014. The Act not only marks the end of the “ASBO” but also introduces new, important powers aimed at “putting the victim first”. These powers are only useful, however, if people know about them.
