To turn things around and effectively combat the problem, it is clear that fresh impetus is needed, which is why we committed in our manifesto to introducing respect orders, which will enable tough restrictions to be placed on the worst adult perpetrators of anti-social behaviour. Those subject to a respect order could be banned from a town centre as well as being compelled to address the root cause of their behaviour; for example, through mandated alcohol and drug treatment. The orders will be applied for by police, councils or social housing providers, and issued by the courts.
