Say you need some quick cash and you have something of value like a diamond ring. You go to the pawn shop and they will give you a fraction of what it is worth. You have the option of returning for the item and paying the money back plus interest within a specific time of just leaving the item there where it can then be sold if you don't come back for it.
The only thing bad about them is that often people who steal things will sell them to a pawn shop and get the money for them. Also people on drugs will sell family items to pay for their habit.

Since they've already explained what they are; I'll just answer the other part. The only thing that I can think of that is bad, is that a lot of times when people steal things they sell them to a pawn shop who in turn sells them to other people.

A pawnbroker is a person who offers loans to individuals who use their personal property as collateral. These items are called pledges or pawns. The word pawn is derived from the Latin patinum, meaning cloth or clothing. Typically, most people's primary assets were their clothing. The place of business of a pawnbroker is a pawnshop.

a pawn shop is a place that you can take a valueable to sell or let them keep it as collaterale for a small loan. You can find great deals in a pawn shop, tools, guns, electronics, jewelry, nearly anything.

Pawn shops loan you money for stuff like stereos and jewelry. If you can pay them back with interest you get your stuff back.
Are they bad? I guess not. Having to use them isn't great, I guess.
Nowadays people are talking about dumpster diving, where to get food & such. It's all relative.

It's a place where poor people go to 'pawn' the things they own for small amounts of money and if they can't 'redeem' them, or pay to get them back, the owners sell them. It is also the place where theives go to sell the stuff they stole, druggies go to sell their kids' cd player to buy drugs, etc.

People take things there and get money for them. A person can go back and get it or just sell it. People get ripped off at some of them I guess.

its a place where to take your stuff and trade it in for money. you can always go back and get it back. they give you about 30 days and if you don't go and pick it up they will sell your stuff.
