No it isn't, but we do have issues here... the biggest issues in my area (a new town town miles for the nearest city) is that there is nothing for the teens to do... nothing. The local youth centre is closed by 7pm, there is no sports centre, cinema, bowling alley within 10 miles, public transport sucks in the evenings... and then the local council wonder why there are bored teenagers causing problems?
The problem is no one wants to try to sort this out, because it involves spending money, proper policing, better scools, better parenting, and it will take time. Why do all that when you can attach a noise maker to a building, and shift the problem elsewhere.
