Should Hoodies Be Banned? – A UK Newspapers Argues Yes

By admin

There are some new discussions of whether or not hoodies should be banned. Crime such as violence, vandalism, theft and disorder are on the rise and unfortunately part of our culture. According to a recent newspaper in the UK in every case “the killer’s sullen face was hidden beneath the disguise of feral society – the hooded top”.

The arguement is that people are hiding behind their hoodies making them faceless and very difficult to catch after crimes. Others wearing hoodies on the streets, trains, buses and shopping centres are thought to also be intimidating. The Sunday Express wants the police to order that police officers order hoods to be removed in public places. If peoples faces were always visible potential law breakers may not conduct as many public crimes because of the risks of getting caught on CCTV.

According to the newspaper: “Hoodies are a definite problem because they introduce a fear of the unknown.” This is a ridiculous arguement that inhibits the rights of people to keep their head warm and dry. Why not ban hats and long hair also?
