New respect orders take effect across England and Wales today. They are designed to target people who commit antisocial behaviour, and those people could face tougher restrictions on what they do.

What does it mean?

If someone keeps causing trouble in their neighbourhood, the rules for stopping them are getting stricter. The new orders apply from today.

Who is affected?

People accused of antisocial behaviour in England and Wales, and the communities they affect.
