Anti-social behavioural orders.

A symbol of the breakdown of our society? A symptom of the void that's growing between the young people of today and their elders? Evidence of the mistrust we feel towards each other, a mistrust that's threatening to break us apart?  Well believe it or not, in a recent MORI poll of 1800 upstanding citizens, 82% came out in support of issuing ASBOs to those deemed anti-social, regardless of social standing, mental stability, being ten years old...

Max Rowlands (The state of ASBO Britain - the rise of intolerance)
