Synopsis

At the turn of the 20th century in Liverpool, there emerged ruthless groups of street thugs who terrorised both the law-abiding and the lawless. By 1946 the city had 86 juvenile gangs, with names like the Skull and the Snake Eyes, many of them living virtually beyond the law. New terrors such as the Peanut and Swallow gangs appeared, eventually followed in the 1950s by the Teddy Boys and territorial youth gangs such as the Park Lane Gang who could hold an entire district to ransom. Tearaways is a compelling criminal history of Liverpool gangs from the 1890s to the mid 1960s.
