Could anyone please help me out? I'm really not sure which word I should use. I'm looking for an English word for young people who behave in an offensive and annoying way in public. Some of them commit an offense or resort to violence without going to schools. Their outfits look gaudy and similar, and often hang out somewhere (in a group). In the nights, some of them ride unlawful motorcycles in their areas while a driving offense. I found some words in some English dictionaries, but I'm wondering if there is a different right word. Thank you. 1) a delinquent youth 2) a hooligan 3) a chav 4) a young punk 5) a yob 6) a member of street/motorcycle gangs
