Threshold Test for PSPOs

The Threshold Test for PSPOs (Public Space Protection Orders) is a process used to determine whether restrictions in a public area are justified. It assesses if there is enough evidence of anti-social behavior to justify intervention, and whether the measures are appropriate, necessary, and proportionate. Essentially, it ensures that any restrictions or rules are backed by clear evidence and are fair, balancing the need to address problems with respecting individual rights. This test helps authorities implement targeted, effective measures while minimizing unnecessary interference in people's freedoms.
