And, just how is this Anti-Social Banning Order going to work? Will it function like Protective Orders in the US? Get the order - police don't enforce it - people get killed or injured as a direct result?

Judging from the entire family, the Bridges, who were banned for seven years, this is a useless exercise in appearances only. The government can claim that it is actually doing something, because an ASBO was actually issued. But if that order is not enforced -- and it probably won't be -- a 16-year-old female sociopath has just defeated the government of England.

Did I miss anything?

I don't think so, no.  "sigh"

Things will most likely need to get much worse before anything substantive is done.  Considering the commonplace nature of the destroyed family, juvenile reform schools with corporal punishment or 'boot camp' style approaches may be the only way out.....the prisons are filling up fast.
