Question
15. What steps she is taking to tackle antisocial behaviour.
Answer
This Government are determined to tackle antisocial behaviour across England and Wales. From today, we are calling time on persistent offenders of ASB with the introduction of respect orders, honouring our manifesto commitment and cracking down on ASB.50% vibes
Verdict: GREEN (76/100)
The reply directly answers the question by naming a concrete measure: respect orders targeting persistent antisocial behaviour offenders, introduced from today as a manifesto commitment. Much of the surrounding wording is general statements of intent, and the reply gives little detail on scale, resourcing or how the orders will be applied. A member of the public would learn what the government is doing, though they might still want more detail on implementation.
