  "heading": "Power of arrest",
  "text": "(1) A court granting an injunction under this Part may attach a power of arrest to a prohibition or requirement of the injunction if the court thinks that—\n(a) the relevant conduct in which the respondent has engaged or threatens to engage consists of or includes the use or threatened use of violence against other persons, or\n(b) there is a significant risk of harm to other persons from the respondent.\n“Requirement” here does not include one that has the effect of requiring the respondent to participate in particular activities.\n(2) If the court attaches a power of arrest, the injunction may specify a period for which the power is to have effect which is shorter than that of the prohibition or requirement to which it relates.\n(3) In this section, “relevant conduct” means—\n(a) in relation to a youth injunction, anti-social behaviour;\n(b) in relation to a housing injunction, housing-related anti-social conduct.",
