This exemplifies the way in which modern youth issues such as Twitter have been combined with issues such as riots to create a divide between the youths and people of a higher social status.
The police statement that they have let "Yobs Rule [the] Streets" shows them demonising the youth culture and portraying them as Folk Devils. This is in order to place blame on a specific group of people in order to allow for the publics fear to be placed on a direct group.
