Criminal Behaviour Orders
(asked on 21st March 2022) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many instances of individuals breaching a criminal behaviour order were recorded in each of the last five years.
The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 provides a range of flexible tools and powers to local agencies to tackle anti-social behaviour. Local areas decide how best to deploy these powers depending on the specific circumstances.
The number of breaches of Criminal Behaviour Orders in the last five years recorded by the 39 police forces in England and Wales who have supplied data to the Home Office is shown in Table 1.
