Abstract
The Community Protection Notice (CPN) is a civil order designed to protect communities
from anti-social behaviour (ASB) within England and Wales by addressing unreasonable and
persistent conduct, which has 'a detrimental effect on the quality of life of those in the
locality'. Introduced under the 'Putting Victims First' agenda and the ASB, Crime and
Policing Act (2014), the civil order can impose prohibitions alongside positive requirements
upon any person aged 16 or over, business or organisation. Before a CPN is issued, a
Community Protection Warning (CPW) must be put in place by the police, local authority,
social housing provider, or any other authorised persons with delegated power from the local
authority. This paper reports the findings of a qualitative study that used semi-structured
interviews to explore ASB victims' experiences of CPWs/CPNs for the first-time.
Discussions focus upon the impact of the ASB, authorities' responses, perceived effectiveness
of CPWs/CPNs, and recommendations for change. Significant concerns emerge from the
victims' constructions of the CPN process regarding transparency, accountability, the
correctability of requirements imposed, and victim involvement. The findings signify the
need for an authentically restorative approach to ASB with three empirically grounded
recommendations provided that account for ASB victims' needs and vulnerabilities.
