Definition
- An emerging trend in illegal youth group activity has been witnessed on our cities' streets: swarming. The act of swarming (sometimes referred to by commentators as wilding, flash mobs, crime mobs, or flashrob events) has captured the interest of urban communities, policing officials, news media, business owners, and criminologists.
