Reclaiming the Streets 8.00pm R4

The city's use of ASBOs has increased dramatically over the last year and, undeniably, there has been a reduction in "yob" crime as a result. I felt uncomfortable, however, with the inclusion of city centre beggars alongside thugs who've been mounting campaigns of terror on local estates. (Jane Anderson)
