I do remember while there were some cases of teens killing people in the 2000’s, they were few and far between, now it’s like you got to watch out for teens rather than adults and there’s a very potent hazard of being killed by a pack.
What happened?

I was in the police from early 2004 until end of 2016.
Things were significantly and statistically worse back then, including violence. The kids especially were fucking feral.
I worked in a predominantly rural area and in 2004/2005 our station was firebombed twice, police officers were regularly assaulted and we would have to attend incidents as a three because we needed someone to look after the vehicle whilst dealing with a job.
It wasn’t a friday night if we weren’t having bottles chucked at us from alleyways, and youth drunkeness and antisocial behaviour was rife.
Over the years we managed to get a grip on it. Council evicted a lot of the troublesome families and we locked up the rest. By the time I left, the job was almost boring.

The ones that were evicted now live in OP’s neighborhood
