Injunctions addressing gang-related violence, drug dealing and anti-social behaviour and the associated police powers.
Prepare for legal application, not isolated recall
Use the exact 2026 syllabus, distinguish neighbouring offences and powers, apply facts to elements and safeguards and recheck the College page for any exceptional formal update.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Identify the risk: Define the violence, drug dealing or anti-social behaviour the intervention is intended to prevent.
Exam cue: Locate the exact 2026 Appendix A heading before choosing the governing rule or procedure.
Concept 2
Choose the injunction: Match the facts to the correct statutory injunction rather than treating every civil order as interchangeable.
Exam cue: Separate definitions and offence elements from powers, safeguards, defences and procedural consequences.
Concept 3
Application threshold: Apply the prescribed evidential test, applicant and respondent requirements.
Exam cue: Apply the facts to adjacent rules instead of answering from the seriousness of the outcome alone.
