Explained in plain English

What happens if you break one?

Breaching a Respect Order is now a criminal offence, carrying a maximum sentence of two years in jail. This is a significant change, as previous anti-social behaviour measures often resulted in civil penalties. The aim is to provide a stronger deterrent and more robust enforcement against persistent offenders.
