| Over the last four months, Andrea Bradley, lead nurse at the Morriston Hospital casualty unit in Swansea, has written out around 20 Asbos to protect other patients and staff. |
| The lads selected for the 1950s-style paratroop training are the lippiest and baddest bunch with thieves, vandals, fraudsters and ASBOs in their midst. |
| Asbos may be effective, but where they are not, the kindest thing for the young offender is a well-managed reform school. |
| Asbos are a punitive measure that can criminalise people for behaviour that is not criminal. |
| These suggestions, if they became law, would result in many firebugs thinking twice before striking up as they are not something to be bragged about as are Asbos. |
| But critics argued the ASBOs too often became viewed as a 'badge of honour' by the disaffected or feckless youths it was aimed at curbing. |
