About this title

Synopsis

The control of nuisance and anti-social behaviour has become a focus of government interest over the last few decades. English law has taken large steps forward compared with many other jurisdictions. With good planning and preparation, many types of behaviour can now be controlled or prevented. The most recent statutory help comes from the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 (“the 2014 Act”).

This guide provides legal practitioners, social landlords, the police, tenants and their advisors with a practical guide to the current law governing the control of anti-social behaviour in England and Wales using Injunctions made under the 2014 Act (“ASBIs”). In a comprehensive, yet accessible format this guide aims to help the reader navigate some of the common challenges associated with the control of nuisance in publicly and privately-owned housing and elsewhere by the use of ‘ASBIs’.
