Anti-social adults to be sent to 'sin bins', says respect tsar

People who repeatedly flout anti-social behaviour laws should be housed in "sin bins" where they will be subjected to curfews and a tough set of rules governing how they live, according to the Government's anti-social behaviour chief.

Louise Casey, who heads the Respect taskforce, wants to extend family intervention projects to single people who have extremely "chaotic" lifestyles.

She believes that the expensive boarding-school style regimes were the answer to breaking the cycle of antisocial behaviour.

Ms Casey also said the Government is planning to extend parenting classes across the country. The classes will teach parents how to impose rules on their offspring and ensure they are properly fed, disciplined and go to school.
