Abstract: Despite the order’s diminishing use in recent years, in the second half of 2009 the Government declared its intention to revive the ASBO. One of the most contentious features of the ASBO has always been its hybridity. This article discusses a way of addressing concerns about the ASBO’s hybridity which has hitherto received little consideration, namely that the two-stage ASBO procedure be “civilized”, i.e., made into a wholly civil process. The article suggests that such a change would have a number of benefits, and then discusses where a wholly civil ASBO would leave the ASBI and the CrASBO.
