Antisocial Behaviour Orders

Answer

The available information (up to 31 December 2005, latest available) is given in the tables. Information for those aged 65 years and over is not available separately.

Table A: Number of ASBOs proven in court to have been breached in England and Wales in each year
	Number of ASBOs breached³	Percentage distribution of ASBOs breached by age group
Age group¹	2000²	2001	2002	2003	2004	2005	2000²	2001	2002	2003	2004	2005
10-17	7	64	134	354	828	1,353	54	52	53	50	44	40
18+	6	60	120	361	1,036	2,037	46	48	47	50	56	60
Total	13	124	254	715	1,864	3,390	100	100	100	100	100	100
¹ Age group is based on age at breach, not issue.
² From 1 June 2000.
³ Note that an ASBO can be breached in more than one year, therefore persons may be counted more than once in this table.
Note:
Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the courts and police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used.
