Book excerpt: The Committee's report focuses on three particular topics : anti-social behaviour by young people; nuisance caused by anti-social neighbours; and alcohol-related disorder. Aspects discussed include : causes and definitions; effectiveness and proportionality of current powers, including anti-social behaviour orders (ASBOs) and fixed penalty notices; enforcement and co-ordination by local and housing authorities, government departments, the police, the Crown Prosecution and landlords; the impact of government initiatives; the role of parenting support, youth and community services and the youth justice system; regional disparities; and private sector responsibilities for tackling the problem.
