## Summary

The Government is introducing Respect Orders in England and Wales to give authorities tougher ways to curb persistent anti-social behaviour. The new ASBO-style restrictions are intended to make public spaces feel safer and allow police, councils and other agencies to act when offenders do not respond to diversionary work.

Orders apply to adults and can include town-centre bans, curfews, unlimited fines and community sanctions. Courts may also require rehabilitation for offenders whose crimes are linked to drug or alcohol use, or anger management classes; breaching an order is a criminal offence punishable by up to two years in prison. Behaviours cited include harassment, intimidation, street drinking, littering, drug use and riding e-bikes or e-scooters.
