ABC - Acceptable Behaviour Contract

An Acceptable Behaviour Contract (ABC) is a written agreement between a person who has been involved in anti-social behaviour and one or more local agencies.

The ABC lists the anti-social things that the person has done and that they agree not to do in future.

The contract will usually state what will happen if the person gets involved in anti-social behaviour again.

An ABC is not a legal document, it is a voluntary agreement. However, if a person breaks the contract it might lead to an Anti-Social Behaviour Order or some other legal action.
