To ask the Scottish Executive how many breaches of antisocial behaviour orders (ASBOs) have been recorded since 2002, also expressed as a percentage of the total number of ASBOs issued during that period.
Answer
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.
