I think the silent majority would agree with you but taking effective action is expensive. Alternatively people in the neighbourhood can stand up to them, and inform the police as and when necessary, rather than cowering in their homes. We have become a nation of people living in our own little worlds, and expecting the state to take care of everything. I know people at work such as the company MD will intervene if they see someone being harassed, or causing trouble. Clearly this does not address the individual's underlying behavioural problems, but it does lessen the damage to others.
What worries me is that problem families often have a lot of kids, and they will have behavioural problems. They in their turn will have a lot of kids, and no doubt they too will have behavioural problems. Whereas an awful lot of the decent people I have met (working class, middle class, and posh) have only one or maybe two kids, and often none.
