However if the courts had real power and the will to use it and the police had a zero tolerance attitude to the anti social behaviour on our streets then we would all feel the benefit

You have just answered a question I was going to ask, are we talking about charged or cautioned? Even in this day and age I think that for some kids being cautioned by the police is enough to prevent them from going on to commit more crime. I also think as you do that some kids if named and shamed would wear it like a badge of honour. As to the solution, I really don't know.
