A Clockwork Orange is a good example of the author (Anthony Burgess) seeing the trends in how society deals with youth criminals and gangs, predicts how the society will evolve into one of youth gangs owning the streets and having their way while good people hide inside or become victims of the monsters created by our own permissive attitudes.

It was pretty spot on if you look at how the UK has become and our own problems with youth gangs here in America. It’s a social commentary. The movie was pretty close to the book except that the main character Alex is only 15 in the book and kills a fellow inmate in prison.

The book is a great read too as it has an index that teaches you what the various slang terms mean and their origin.
