The data provided does notinclude cases in which the breach is treated as an aggravating factor in aconviction for another offence.

The most recent data held centrally indicates that nine 12 to 15-year-olds have been issued withAntisocial Behaviour Orders since October 2004 (up to end-March 2007).

We expect to publish thisreport in due course. Annual surveys of antisocial behaviour order usage, for2003-04, 2004-05, and 2005-06, which will contribute to the forthcoming report,are available in the Scottish Parliament Information Centre (Bib numbers 43140,43141 and 43142 respectively).

Reliable data for breach ofantisocial behaviour orders is only held centrally for 2004-05 and 2005-06. Thisreveals that 140 and 153 orders were breached in these years, respectively. Theindependent research which provides us with this data expresses the number oforders breached each year as a proportion of the number of orders in force atthe end of each year rather than the number issued each year. This is a moreaccurate reflection the true breach rate because a high proportion of ASBOs arein force for more than one year. On thisbasis, the research estimated the ASBO breach rate at 26% in 2004-05 and 31% in2005-06.

The information requested isnot yet held centrally. We expect the figures for 2006-07 to be available bythe end of this year.
