I had a thought the other day, will monks be followed around shoping centres when their hoods are up?

and a bloke hiding in a hoodie robbed a good friend of mine. Oh- it can happen. That's where the steroetype comes from. But I honestly think you can't generalise. I've known a lot of nice kids who liked to wear "hoodies". When I worked at the Dyslexia Centre, a lot wore them in cold weather- and they were nice kids from good homes.

I like wearing hoodies, I generally don't wear the hood up though and don't go and cause trouble around my local neighbourhood
There is a problem with a certain amount of youths in this country who wear hoodies to conceal their face slightly and it does make them look like they're about to cause trouble

The only jumpers i posses are hoodies. a couple of big thick ones and a lighter one. They are brilliant. they help keep you warm, have good pouch pocket, and you can don the hood when there is someone approaching who you dont want to have to stop and speak to

I drove past two groups/gangs last night - one outside the shops in the precinct in Moston Road, Harlescott and one ouside the spa shop precinct on Telford Estate Monkmoor. Without exception they were all wearing hoodies, and the reason WAS to avoid capture on the CCTV installed in both precincts of their mindless acts of petty and not so petty vandalism. There was NO ambiguity as to were they wearing them as a fashion statement or a crime detection avoidance measure As for the shopping centre in the news, they are welcome to set a dress code for their property in the same way as pubs are. Yes, there are humerous issues around the fringes of this problem, but the problem does need tackling

My son wears them all the time, and my daughter every now and then. I dont mind them as long as they do not put the hood up. Never wear them myself, prefer my owd Tank-tops

I think this ban is a practical one and shouldn't be seen as discriminating. not sure how the ban is worded but should only be a ban on those wearing the hoods over their heads. Its like bans on people wearing crash helmets. Those bans are not saying that all motor cyclists are crims but they are saying that if we cannot see your face you won't be served. I think that is fair.

H wears them, only uses the hood if its cold. They were around when I was the same age, lol I can remember making one in school They are used by some to hide from cctv camera's quite often over the top of baseball caps.

People only stereotype, rightly or wrongly, because that group of people have historically carried out that behaviour.
That doesn't mean ALL people who fit into that group - but a section of that group.

Why would anyone need to wear a hood up inside a shopping centre?
