Abstract
The discussion notes that the wording of the law will enable orders relating to antisocial behavior to be issued even if certain antisocial actions are not necessarily causing harassment, alarm, or distress. Other sections of the law focus on orders related to sex offenders, parenting orders, juvenile delinquency and disorder, child protection orders, and curfews. Further provisions focus on racially aggravated offenses, the goals and operation of the juvenile justice system, the functions of magistrates' courts, sentencing, and corrections.
