This timely book draws together the qualitative and quantitative research findings of a major three-year study of the use and impact of ASB interventions with young people from four case study areas.

Synopsis:

Despite commitments to 'evidence-based policy' in anti-social behaviour (ASB), there has been an absence of research to inform policy development. This timely book draws together the qualitative and quantitative research findings of a major three-year study of the use and impact of ASB interventions with young people from four case study areas. It examines the extent to which ASB measures promote resilience and/or desistance; and identifies the trajectories that young people take into, through and away from ASB interventions, including the relationship between prevention work, ASB interventions and criminal justice sanctions. The book also critically explores the theoretical and conceptual assumptions that underlie policy development and routine practices. Looking at frontline practice, it considers variations in use of ASB powers and the views of key decision makers, and young people and their families. It makes essential reading for policy makers and practitioners in youth justice and policing, academics, researchers and postgraduate students working in a variety of areas.
