"Democrats have been accused of backtracking on crime policy after spending nearly nine months reviewing the Town Hall’s anti-social behaviour strategy before finally agreeing that Asbos are working after all.T he review – a “stocktake” of everything Camden has done to stop nuisance behaviour – was published with no recommendations to slow down the council’s prolific use of the court banning orders. Instead, the final findings credit Asbos for helping to reduce crime in King’s Cross."
