Data are not collected centrally on the status of orders currently being processed.
ASBOs are civil orders introduced under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, and do not of themselves result in a custodial sentence. Breach of an ASBO is a criminal offence and a custodial sentence may result following conviction. Information on breaches of ASBOs are compiled from data reported on the Home Office Court Proceedings Database. Available information for ASBOs breached in Lancashire is given in Table B.
