Religious extremists could be given an AntiSocial Behaviour Order in a crackdown of extreme and radical behaviour this article in The Metro says.
"Police and prosecutors could use Asbos against suspects they can not charge with criminal offences under new guidance to tackle "radicalisers" announced by Attorney General Lord Goldsmith.
Police are also calling on members of the public to use a hotline to tip them off about anyone they suspect of preaching hatred.
This idea follows the successful use of Asbos on animal rights activists.
In my opinion, I do not think that this will work. An Asbo is too small a tool to use on an issue this big. Jail sentences, deportation, shoot to kill strategies have not curbed terrorism and extremist behaviour; how likely is it that an Asbo will?
