Im talking about the same kind of youth panic we see in films such as the 1955 classic film, Blackboard Jungle, Rebel Without a Cause, Crime in the Streets, The Delinquents, High School Confidential, The Wild One and the 1957 Broadway musical, West Side Story. Where there actually youths getting in switchblade fights? Was the violence exaggerated? Or could we see violent upticks?
More can always be said, but this answer from /u/veryshanetoday should be of interest to you.
