Not shops admittedly but certainly 'town centre'.

Indeed
At least I was taught right from wrong
There is nothing excuse for these youngsters terrorising residents and causing thousands of pounds of damage

Punishment if any at all is just a joke and with a lack of Police to do anything about it things will never improve.

We have over the years gone down the years of political correctness.
Some of this was needed , but it has gone way over the top.
Problem now is how do we come back from it?.
The police who used to have to be respected, through a minority in the force who think they can just batter anyone (even worse in USA)
Teachers nearly impossible to reprimand pupils.
Parents same .
We need to start drawing back
