In ancient China the word mang in the term liumang [translated here as "hooligan"—Trans.] referred to "people from elsewhere," "people from the wilderness," and "village inhabitants."1 Later, this term was used in connection with local riffraff and scoundrels and came to mean a specific type of bad element.2 Hence the term hooligan is generally a political or moral assessment of a person. The earliest to make hooliganism a criminal offense was the 1810 French criminal code, which stipulated in Article 269: "Hooligan and miscreant (behavior) constitute misdemeanors." However, the "hooliganism" it referred to was committed by "people who had no fixed abode, no means of livelihood, and often no trade or occupation" (Article 270). Obviously, they equated vagrants or members of the lumpen proletariat with hooliganism. Despite its strong influence on the criminal codes of other capitalist countries, the majority of the latter did not stipulate hooliganism as a crime. The first country that truly wrote hooliganism, which poses great harm to the people, into its criminal code and fought resolutely against it was the Soviet Union, the first socialist country in the world established after the October Revolution. China and other socialist countries followed suit
