1997 New York gang war film, with Laurence Fishburne and Tim Roth (7)

I believe the answer is:

hoodlum

(Other definitions for hoodlum that I've seen before include "Violent young criminal" , "Young thug or criminal" , "Person vandalising" , "One breaks the law" , "Punk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
