I agree with Sarah Boyack. It is important that the appropriate justice bodies as well as child welfare organisations take the necessary action to tackle antisocial behaviour.

A number of mechanisms can be used by different agencies. They include enforcement action through antisocial behaviour orders or fixed-penalty notices and early Intervention actions by child support organisations.

A concerted effort and a targeted approach to dealing with this type of antisocial behaviour is critical, not just because of the impact that it has had on buses. I suspect that, if individuals are targeting buses, they will be targeting other areas of the community as well, including people’s property or local shops. That is why it is important that communities work together collectively to tackle and stamp out the problems that are associated with antisocial behaviour.
