Abstract
In an analysis of the recent White Paper Respect and Responsibility ‐ Taking a Stand Against Anti‐Social Behaviour, the author argues that anti‐social behaviour lacks an effective definition and that little theoretical rigour is contained in the document. Its main concern is with the marginalised members of the population but at the same time it offers little possibility of constructive interventions.
