Loitering and spanking
Teenagers are often targeted for loitering around shopping centers when they are used as hang-out spots. Be it worries over shoplifting or graffiti and other vandalism, or bored teens simply make a nuisance of themselves of legitimate customers. These assumptions are often unfair, especially given modern teenagers are often the people with the largest amount of discretionary spending available, and there are also often no other places where it would be considered appropriate for them to hang out.
This can lead to escalations of defiance when they are told to move along.
