Examining the introduction of legislation in Ireland to tackle juvenile anti-social behaviour

Kevin Brown

University of Manchester, kevin.brown{at}manchester.ac.uk

In July 2006, the Irish Parliament passed legislation aimed at tackling anti-social behaviour following a perceived increase in the problem. The new provisions are based on existing law and practice in England and Wales. However, the legislation includes a framework for dealing with juveniles that differs in a number of respects from that which exists in England and Wales. This article examines how the Irish legislation proposes to treat juveniles engaged in antisocial behaviour and contrasts this with the English approach.

Key Words: anti-social behaviour • community safety • crime and disorder reduction • Ireland • youth offending
