DO Anti Social Behaviour Orders work?

Statistics gained using the Freedom of Information Act show only 16 ASBOs have been handed out in the county in the last five years.

Of the 16 offenders, 14 were caught breaching the order.

In total there were 52 breaches between these 14 offenders, with one person caught in breach of the order 21 times.

Fourteen ASBOs were given to people in Haverfordwest, one to a resident of Pembroke Dock and another to someone in Fishguard. Nobody in Milford Haven has been given an ASBO.

Statistics also show that the youngest person to have an ASBO against them was 19 while the oldest was 66.
