Baroness Scotland of Asthal

The table gives information on the number of notifications received by the Home Office of anti-social behaviour orders (ASBOs) granted within England and Wales, by rural local authority area (as defined by the Countryside Agency) and by age group, from 1 July 2002 to 30 June 2003 (latest available). This information is reported by the Magistrates' Court Committees (MCCs) and the Crown Court and from copies of the orders received we have been able to identify the local authority areas involved. The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) does not have a definitive list of individual rural areas.

Statistics on breaches of ASBOs are not collected centrally at this level of detail.
