Social Sciences - Government / Politics / Anti-Social Behaviour | | English term or phrase: has given ammunition | TAUNTS, stones, eggs: none of the things hurled at Fiona Pilkington’s home were particularly serious taken on their own, or so the local police thought. But after seven years of hounding by local youths, the siege became unbearable. This week an inquest heard how Ms Pilkington eventually shut herself, her mentally disabled daughter Francecca and her pet rabbit inside the family car, and set it alight.
The Pilkington tragedy*** has given ammunition*** to those who argue that “anti-social behaviour”, as everyday thuggery has become known, is more than a mere nuisance. That was the view of Tony Blair, who took Labour to three election victories promising to be tough on criminals, as well as on the social causes of crime. One of Mr Blair’s first inventions was the anti-social behaviour order, or ASBO, a civil injunction for which councils or police forces can apply in order to prevent a person from doing certain things—typically visiting certain people or places. If the terms of an ASBO are breached, the result is a criminal conviction. Under encouragement from the central government, local councils were soon giving out ASBOs like sweets, cheered on by newspapers that loved to report the more weird and wonderful conditions laid down (banned activities have included spitting, having loud sex and carrying felt-tip pens in public).
