Where The Yobs Are

Everyone's a winnerOn Knifecrime Island, persons perpetrating anti-social behaviors which are not considered to merit prosecution are issued an Anti-Social Behaviour Order, or ASBO, which is supposed to prevent them from engaging in those behaviors. Offenses for which an ASBO is issued include drunkenness, intimidation, violence, vandalism, and shoplifting (i.e., being British). Now there's a free app that will tell you just how lairy the hoodies in your current location are!

ASBOrometer is a mobile application that measures levels of anti-social behaviour at your current location (within England and Wales) and gives you access to key local ASB statistics. ASBOrometer is available for iPhone and Android phones.

This is good news, unless someone glasses you and steals your iPhone, which they almost certainly will. [Via]

And my hometown sweeps the top 5. *sigh*

+a few points for vaguely appropriate deployment of "lairy" – you're not doing horribly, for a scaffold.

Come on Hackney! You can do better than 4th place!

I guess I should be happy that my part of London (or 'my manor' as we say) isn't in the Top 5.

I'm right there with you, except my postcode hasn't had enough cred to be called a manor since 1976.

Mine too probably, though it does still have a few council estates (it's Fulham)

Notting Hill (blushes)
