Have you ever noticed that it only takes one or two people doing something wrong to make life really difficult for everyone else? At school for example, one or two people making a lot of noise in a class can make it impossible for everyone else to concentrate.
Anti Social behaviour is where one person or a group of people are making life really difficult or unpleasant for others. It can include things like damaging property, getting drunk and fighting in the street, shouting, swearing or threatening passers by. A family or group of people in a house who are making lots of noise at all times of the day or night and disturbing their neighbours, could be said to be Anti Social.

An ABC is a written agreement between a person who has been involved in antisocial
behaviour and one or more local agencies whose role it is to prevent such behaviour, such as the Police or the local Youth Offending Team.
ABCs are most commonly used for young people but may also be used for adults.
The ABC lists the anti social things that the person has done and which they agree not to do in future. The idea is that the person recognizes the effect their behaviour has on other people and takes responsibility for their actions.
Where a young person is involved the ABC will usually describe some for of support. It might suggest that the young person joins a youth project or that they should receive counseling.
The contract will usually state what will happen if the person gets involved in anti social behaviour again.
An ABC is not a legal document, it is a voluntary agreement. However, if a person breaks the contract it might lead to an Anti Social Behaviour Order or some other legal action.

If the police or the local council believe someone is continuing to act in an Anti Social manner they can apply to the Magistrates Courts to get an Anti Social Behaviour Order against that person.
An Anti Social Behaviour Order or ASBO can be made against any person aged 10 or over who continues to act in an anti-social way.
An ASBO is not intended to punish someone, it is meant to stop a person from continuing their anti social behaviour and to protect the people whose lives are being made difficult by that anti social behaviour.
The order will usually require the person to stop doing particular things or going to particular places. An ASBO is not a voluntary agreement it is an order from the court.
