Madam, - Congratulations to Carol Coulter on more simplistic bleating about crime. She writes that antisocial behavioural orders (Asbos) "would criminalise people for behaviour that is not in itself criminal"; but the fact is that Asbos are needed in areas where delinquents run wild, terrorising people in their homes. To my mind, that is criminal behaviour and any law that gives more power to the victim instead of the criminal should be welcomed. - Yours, etc,
JOHN KENNY, Moran's Cottages, Ranelagh, Dublin 6W.
