What Does ASBO Stand For?

ASBO stands for Anti Social Behaviour Order

An Anti Social Behaviour Order (ASBO) is a legal measure in the United Kingdom designed to prohibit individuals from engaging in behaviors that cause harassment, alarm, or distress to others. Issued by a court, ASBOs aim to protect communities by restricting specific activities and can include conditions such as prohibitions on entering certain areas or associating with particular individuals. Violating an ASBO can result in criminal charges and penalties. The initiative seeks to address and reduce anti-social behavior, fostering safer and more harmonious communities.
