It promotes responsibility. If you know you, or a member of your family is committing criminal acts and as a result you will be forced to leave the area and your friends it would focus you on not committing crime.

The estate I worked on for a number of years did this for drug dealers and persistent anti-social tennents a few years back and it worked wonders.
Agreed and it should always be an option for LA's .My concern is using this option as a first resort instead of a last resort .I am wondering if the family mentioned in this thread are being evicted because the government told them to do it or because they have past history with crime and disorder .

It's happened before and it'll happen again. If this happens to a number of the rioters I can see this becoming more commonplace for other times.
It's happened a lot on my estate ,a god send for peaceable tenants on the estate they are being evicted from but a pain in jacksy for the area they are being moved to .It will never be a cure for the problem of unruly tenants just a short term respite for decent tenants and to be used for political ends is wrong imo
