Johnson plans Asbo league tables on Net

Alan Johnson will step up the fight against antisocial behaviour after admitting the issue has been put on the back burner.

In his first interview since taking over as Home Secretary, he said the Government had been "coasting" on the subject in past years and he would adopt a "new drive" to tackle the problem.

Part of that drive will include creating league tables online to help the public compare what their local authority is doing to address antisocial behaviour with action taken in other parts of the country.Leaflets will be provided with the same information for those who do not have internet access. "People will be able to see how many crack houses have been closed, how many antisocial behaviour orders have been issued and how many parenting orders have been issued," Mr Johnson said.
