I was a teenager in the 70s and I would cross the road to avoid walking through groups of 10 yr old lads - just in case. It was a relatively new thing back then.
I think the rot starts when they get 'community service' instead of real punishment.
I think they need to be shamed by their actions/punishment. Bring back discipline in schools.
The real cause of family dysfunction is despair and a sense of hopelessness brought on by unemployment. All our previous generations had jobs. There is a connection with self-esteem/jealousy/anger. Time for the politicians to face the fact that importing cheap stuff from China actually destroys our own societies. I shall stop now before I get on my soapbox.
