I am more 50-50 here, I think some of this did perhaps happen in the earlier old times, but there is more technology now to inform other people, also familes tend to be more open now.
However this gang culture and I hate to say this but American Gung HO rap culture ganster thing, is going to far. Although it is down to the parents, the peer pressure thing gets far too many teenagers and kids heading the wrong way, although the recent change in the rule of smacking your own child, does not help as they need to be taught right from wrong, and the goverments and PC Brigade are just making it hard to raise children correctly.
In Rochdale where I live we have our morons, but I have noticed the council is relaxed over these mini bikes so long as they drive them on some fields local to me, this has helped cut down on a muggings and late night yobs throwing stones at buses etc, as now we have a group of lads even some girls making motorbikes up from scrap yards and so long as they wear a helmet, we have noticed they prefer to have a laugh on some fields.
Although you do get your moron it is something they enjoy and is more productive then sitting in front of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas and thinking that is the way to be.

The stuff you read about now.... rarely heard about anything like that back "when I were a lad" (god, I feel old, & I'm only 27).
And it's not just things like the above stories (hacking kids to death, raping teachers, etc), more & more kids today just seem to be....right little ****s in general (insert own 4 letter word of choice).
And they're "the future"  |
I agree there the intital post of this topic opened by eyes a bit, had not realised just how much is going on, something surely has to be done over this
