Delinquents have come in many types in different times and places, but the stereotype tends to attach itself to whatever scary new subculture the kids have come up with recently: greasers in 1950s US, mods and rockers in 1960s Britain, punks everywhere since the 1970s.
The Japanese subculture includes specific depictions of delinquents, such as Sukeban, Banchou and Bousouzoku.
