Conclusion
Particularly given the emphasis witnesses placed on anti-social behaviour largely being carried out by adults, we welcome the decision to exclude children from the scope of respect orders. However, the youth injunction 55 targeted at under 18s would simply replicate the existing regime. It is unclear whether this would effectively tackle anti-social behaviour and do enough to respect the rights of children. (Conclusion, Paragraph 48)
