635W(2) how many antisocial behaviour orders have been breached; what measures have been taken in respect of each breach; and if he will make a statement.[118080]
§ Mr. StrawInformation is not available which identifies those who have committed a criminal offence, other than a breach of an antisocial behaviour order, as the subject of such an order.
Provisional 1999 court data identifying defendants proceeded against for the offence of "breach of an anti-behaviour order" since the order was introduced in April 1999 will be available this summer, with provisional data for the first quarter of 2000 available in the autumn. The data will not identify the circumstances of the breach. The breach of an antisocial behaviour order is an arrestable criminal offence carrying a maximum penalty of five years imprisonment.
