Britain is in danger of becoming a nation fearful of its young people, a report has claimed.

I can offer other reasons that date back to the late eighties and early nineties.
A moral panic creator by Esther Ransom and others led to teens knowing there rights but not having responsibilities. Tha days went where an adult seeing a teen misbehaving badly could just physically show them the error of their deliquent ways went. Adults were scared of being prosecuted for "child abuse".
"Hanging out with mates" is what teenagers do in the UK.
Britisth teen girls are as bad as the boys

Here are some typical U.K. teens, clean looking girls drinking on the streest in broad daylight! In the U.S. they would be immediatly dealt with for underage drinking. In the U.K. noone says or does a thing!
Around 70,000 U.K. teens truant every day.
