Commentary on Sections

Anti-social behaviour orders

Section 40: Report on family circumstances

180.Anti-social behaviour orders (ASBOs) are designed to prevent individuals from engaging in specific anti-social acts. This section amends the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (“the 1998 Act”) under which ASBOs are made.

181.Subsection (2) inserts new subsection (1C) into section 1 of the 1998 Act. This requires anyone who makes an application for an ASBO to the magistrates’ court under section 1 of the 1998 Act, in relation to a young person under the age of 16, to prepare a report on the young person’s family circumstances in accordance with regulations made by the Secretary of State. It is intended that the regulations will specify certain topics or issues that the report should address, for example levels of family support for the young person.

182.Subsections (3) and (4) make consequential amendments as a result of new subsection (1C). This includes a requirement that the court must take into account this report when considering whether to make a parenting order under section 9 of the 1998 Act.

Impact Assessments

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
