What's justice?

What about because they put bricks through windows, are racist and steal car stereos.

They should be dealt with the same as anyone else, and not pre judged because of their background or their appearance.

Pre Judge

I think Chav is supposed to be spelt Chev (or this is how it was originally spelt) because it stands for Council House Environment.

Please can you add 'all of the above' to the poll.

No.
Its a shortened version of Charver.

You've been had my friend.

Definately bolt!! As that is the behaviour that qualifies them as a Chav

With respect, with my background, I have been described as "These people" all my life. I don't like it.

maybe we have a conflict in symantics then because thats not my understanding of the term chav

[TheGreenOne]

That sort of behaviour certainly isn't unique to Chavs but I would say is a trait they possess

Dont blame the kids, they are the sons and daughters of people who have no parenting skills, they dont know/care where their kids are or what they are doing... Just because kids wear the same sort of clothes , it doesnt make them all bad .


Read your posts again and think back to the 50's with teddy boys, the 60's with Mods and Rockers, the 70's with Punk rockers... I am sure people were making the same sweeping judgements then ...

And that, my friend, is exactly what prejudice is.

which is it then, a trait or a prerequisite for definition?

Red-dog, i'm sure you are not a chav.

I used to live in broxtowe nottm, the place was full of chavs and they lived up to their stereotype. There were some non-chavs and you could instantly tell they were different just by looking at them (they were often picked on by the chavs).

In my eyes the definition of a chav includes someone who breaks into your car etc. The guy who lived next door to me had his wheelie bin burnt and a brick thrown through his window just because he was asian. The kid who did it lived right across the street and he couldn't do anyhting about it. They all stick together and do these types of things together, that is why they are stereotyped. If they did not exclude themsleves from society, form their own groups and then do these types of things, it wouldn't be possible to stereotype them.
