The reason is economic.
I remember the 80s...there were still rubble sites in the centre of the town I grew up in from WW2 German bombs, 40 years earlier. Britain was in bad shape economically. Frankly, the country was fucked.
Skin heads was a purely working-class-pride subculture. They were rebellious naughty boys but certainly not criminals.
The working class as we knew it pre 1990s no longer exists.
I don't believe education or crime has any bearing on the rise or fall of the skin head movement. Kids just grow up and the next generation moves in the opposite direction.
