"This book brings together leading researchers from the UK and overseas to examine how anti-social behaviour is being tackled by an increasing number of agencies and a wide range of techniques. It identifies the ambiguities which exist between the rhetoric of policy and day-to-day practice, and raises the question of whether the Government is really being 'tough on ASB as well as tough on the causes of ASB.'"
