Acceptable Behaviour Contract (ABCs) is a written agreement between the person who has been behaving inappropriately and the police or council. These contracts are not legally binding, however they give those involved the chance to take responsibility for the impact they have had on others. The contract will tell the person what will happen if they break the agreement.
Fixed Penalty Notice is a one-off fine often given to an individual for littering, graffiti or a noise nuisance.
Penalty Notice for Disorder is issued for more serious offences such as being drunk and disorderly in public. The fine will depend on the severity of the crime. |
