Yob is a term for an individual that is antisocial and commits petty crimes.

These crimes are a real nuisance for people that just want to lead a normal life. For example more town centres all around the country are no go areas Friday and Saturday nights, since yobs go to get drunk and make a very unpleasant environment, I have not seen anything comparable elsewhere.

Although this is a real nuisance, one just learns to avoid the problems and normally is ok (still sometimes the yobs are in your doorstep, which can complicate matters quite a bit).
