To HHJ Grenfell et al.....
Unlawful use of Injunctions and ASBO's against Autistic/Neurodiverse people
is a basic human rights and civil liberities abuse and disability
discrimination issue that has to be addressed within the judiciary,
especially in line with the UN Disabilty Convention.
Update: 17th June 2005 - Studies back Asbo Concern case
This is what Alvaro Gil-Roblest - the European Commissioner for Human Rights
- has published a damning report on asbos. from Assbo Concern:-
"It is essential...that measures to combat [anti social] behaviour be both
fair and effective. It is doubtful whether the excesses of the anti-social
behaviour order and the high-levels of juvenile detention achieve either of
these aims. As a general impression, it seems to me that more effort might
be expended on explaining the successes of positive reforms and presenting
an accurate picture of juvenile crime rather than concocting new measures,
which may well inspire confidence through empowering local communities to
act themselves, but which would appear neither necessary nor appropriate."
and also....
The Joseph Rowntree Trust has also published research carried out by
academics from King's College London, looking at public attitudes towards
anti social behaviour. Significantly, it found greatest public support for
preventative approaches to antisocial behaviour rather than the government's
emphasis on 'tough' punitive measures like asbos
