Street ruffians, also known as HOOLIGANS, are a group of people who engage in disruptive and often violent behavior in public places. They are typically young people who are unruly and may be involved in criminal activities such as vandalism, theft, and assault. Street ruffians often congregate in groups and can be intimidating to those around them. They are a major problem in many cities and towns, and law enforcement agencies have taken steps to try to reduce their presence.
