The Skinheads are a loose coalition of hooligan firms or street gangs originated in the 1960s in the working-class urban neighborhoods of London, England as a youth movement subculture that is a offshoot style element drawn from the English mods and heavily influenced by the Jamaican rude boys fashion. Unlike other street gangs and crime firms, skinhead gangs follow a range of political and philosophical beliefs that can range from alt-right to radical left. Differing ideologies are one of the causes of conflicts between rival punk gangs, compared to other street gangs and criminal groups who wage gang war solely for illegal profit, vendetta, and territory. Most of them can be seen in political and social protests and demonstrations and are sometimes in violent confrontation with law-enforcement.
