And can a focus upon reflexive modernity theory help to con-struct a more proportionate account of ASBOs as a form of social control? Hence,it is the purpose of this article to consider critically the implications of Beck’s ‘risk society’to our understandings and explanations of antisocial behaviour,ASBOs andsocial control,by linking the late modern (re)formatting of antisocial behaviour(s)and the creation of ASBOs to the new parameters of the ‘risk society’.
