چکیده
The article presents fi ndings of a doctoral research project that examined the implementation of legislation targeted at youth ‘anti-social behaviour’, which began with the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (Sadler, 2004).

In turn, this began to exacerbate already fragile police–youth relationships and encouraged feelings of stigmatization and social exclusion among local young
