Regarding editorial policy: yes indeed this article is available on SpunOut.ie at http://www.spunout.ie/other_content.php?id=1457.
However, SpunOut.ie has a very limited readership and it is mostly used by teenagers and people in their early 20s.
Therefore, we are publishing it on indymedia.ie under indymedia.ie editorial guideline 14 'cut and paste http://www.indymedia.ie/editorial.php which allows certain expceptions to cut and paste.
In this instance we felt that Indy users might benefit from hearing the independent youth view on ASBOs which are most definitely bypassed by the mainstream media.
We do accept that an original introduction is needed to the article and apologise for it's omission.
Should the editors propose a deletion then that's cool with us.
Its not a bad piece but in my opinion lacking the overall view and factors. I agree that some of the uses in the UK have been downright stupid but my question is what to do with those that centers and activities dont help?
No matter what you do or say there will always be those that resort to crime. It may be for money, drug addiction or simple because they enjoy it. Do we just keep throwing money into projects to help or do we try another area and punish?
Also, I have to wonder why there has been over 6 threads about ASBO's in the past 2 weeks, shouldnt the comments be put into the same thread? therefore limiting how many times a person has to repeat themselves.
IN my day, god I sound so old, there was sports to entertain. I played football for the local team and was part of the boxing club for a few years. Apart from that there was 'the Grove', anyone remember that? In St Pauls?
There comes a time when you have to stop complaining and do something pro-active to help yourself. Name an area and I bet I can come up with a couple of community schemes or clubs there.
And besides, who hasnt sat on a wall smoking with their mates at that age? Or in a field with some cans of the cheapest cider going?
My feelings are known on ASBO's, not to victimise which seems to be the only part being looked at but also to help with genuine anti-social behaviour that does have a negative effect on areas.

good to see this kind of thing on indymedia.
If you publish it here first, then wait a few minutes and then publish on your own website - all should be fine. SIlly procedure and technicality, but useful.
it's = it is
its = belonging to it
