Which term is the acronym for an order that restricts an offender's actions?

• A. ASBO
• B. Token Economy
• C. Disciplinary Procedures
• D. Civil Liberties

Answer: (A)

An order that restricts what someone can do is the Anti-Social Behaviour Order. ASBO stands for Anti-Social Behaviour Order, a court-based measure designed to curb nuisance or disorder by limiting an offender’s actions—such as where they can go, who they can associate with, or activities they’re banned from. Breaching the order can lead to penalties, including possible jail time, which shows it’s a real, enforceable restriction.

The other terms don’t describe an order restricting an offender’s actions: a Token Economy is a behavior-modification system using tokens as rewards; Disciplinary Procedures are internal processes for addressing misbehavior in institutions; Civil Liberties refer to fundamental rights protecting individuals from government overreach.
