Anti-social behaviour orders have become an increasingly emotive area of law, generating many inches of comment in the press. Our expert speakers will examine both the policy as it stands now and the government’s proposals for a ‘more effective response.’ They will provide you with practical guidance on how to bring about successful prosecutions, while also examining a host of other suitable remedies, to ensure that anti-social behaviour is curbed.

This webinar will cover:

• The importance of compliance with your policy and procedures - avoiding falling at the first hurdle!
• Presenting hearsay evidence - avoiding the blunderbuss approach!
• The tactical advantage of a prepared skeleton argument - don't leave your skeleton's in the closet!
• The vital importance of carefully drafted prohibitions - does your ASBO do what it says on the tin?
• Choosing a remedy (prosecution, injunction, ASBO or other)
• Remedies against minors
• The new gang injunction
• Avoiding discrimination
• Update on Government’s proposals “More effective responses to anti-social behaviour"
