A quote from Jimi Hendrix "Every city in the world always has a gang or gangs, or so called the outcast".

A stat from the Guardian " Last year, more than 1.5 million Britons thought about moving house to escape young people hanging around, and 1.7 million avoided going out after dark for the same reason "

We also want to capture a different side to stereotype to show the audience/viewers that there is a different side to the stereotype.
