The hooded top, or 'hoody', has become something of a symbol of youth crime in Britain. It seems to get a
mention whenever the newspapers get (1) the subject. Those wearing them are often classed
(2) yobs or hooligans, even when they have done nothing (3) the law. The problem
is that hoodies can easily hide their identity from CCTV cameras. Those (4) authority in some
places such as shopping centres have even gone so far as to ban people wearing hoodies.They claim that the
threat of crime (5) them the right to do it, but there is a danger that young people will actually
be provoked (6) behaving in antisocial ways through rules like this.They may feel that those
(7) power are discriminating against them, and that they refuse to listen when they deny
(8) done anything wrong.It seems to be a classic example (9) older people
feeling threatened by the fashions of the young.At the end of the day, what the members of their peer
(10) think will always be more important to the young than what people running shopping centres
think they should or shouldn't wear.
