Ever since I moved onto a council estate a couple of years ago, I've
suffered a lot of harassment from teenage yobs (mainly threats of
violence, stone-throwing, minor assaults).
Throughout this time, they've capitalised on the fact that I can't
identify them.It's the kind of estate where there are seldom any
adults on the streets to whom I can say "do you know who he is?" Also,
as a relative newcomer to the neighbourhood, I don't have a network of
friends who can help with 'local intelligence'.
So these cowardly toe-rags know they can do what they like to me, and
all I'll ever be able to do is give a vague description to the police.
Well, the other day, one of them, a lad of 16 or 17, made a mistake -
he threatened me while he was on his way to school, and wearing the

school's uniform. So I fixed up an appointment with a member of staff--
there, told him what had happened, and a couple of days later, he
showed me a CCTV printout that was definitely the youth who'd
threatened me.
So here's my question: is there any way that I can legally get that
yob's name? I didn't even bother asking the bloke at the school,
because I was certain he'd say "Sorry, we aren't allowed to disclose
information on our students" etc.
I've informed the police, but the most that will happen is he'll get a
visit from a copper (I doubt if it would go to court, since it was
just threats, with no witness present). And the police probably won't
give me his name either, since he's a minor.
So is there any nifty legal manoeuvre I can use to get it? One though
I had was to mount a private criminal prosecution, intending to drop
it almost immediately (since it would cost me a fortune to go through
with it), just to get the name.
That's probably a rubbish idea, but are there any better ones?
I've had over two years of these cowardly pond-life hiding behind
their anonymity and always having the advantage, so it would be nice
to 'win' just once.
I'd really appreciate any advice anyone can give here.
