An anti-social behaviour order (ASBO /ˈæzboʊ/) was a civil order made in the United Kingdom against a person who had been shown, on the balance of evidence, to have engaged in anti-social behaviour. The orders were introduced by Prime Minister Tony Blair in 1998 and continued in use until 2015. They were designed to correct minor incidents that would not ordinarily warrant criminal prosecution. The orders restricted behaviour in some way, such as prohibiting a return to a certain area or shop, or restricting public behaviour such as swearing or drinking alcohol. Many saw the ASBO as connected with young delinquents. ASBOs were superseded by the Injunction (a civil tort) and the Criminal Behaviour Order which were introduced by the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.
ASBOs were introduced in England, Scotland and Wales through the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. Later legislation strengthened its application: in England and Wales this was largely via the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003, in Northern Ireland through an Order in Council and in Scotland with the Antisocial and Sexual Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Act 2004. Scotland, however, had a pre-existing tribunal system charged with dealing with children and young persons who offend, the Children's Hearings System.

Got to learn to let go
Everybody's moving to the beat
Music makes me wanna move my feet
See I feel the need to get away
From the pain and pressure of today
The DJ comes to my rescue
He throws a beat you've got to move to
The people screaming, yelling on the floor
Singing come on DJ give me more
Everybody's jamming on the street
Baby don't you know I feel the beat
The rhythm seems to take control
Of my mind, body and soul
And when I hear the music
I know the beat is alright
I hear the music
It makes me wanna jump and shout
