For those not familiar with the term chav find below some websites that show pictures of chavs, and which also describe what a chav is. Sometime the terms are used quite loosely and some people can have slightly diffirent meanings.
But in sum a chav is someone who is described as coming from a lower socio-economic background (but not always) and dresses in a particular way, and tends to be involved in petty crime (yet again, not always) such as burglary, joy-riding, shop-lifting, etc.
Anyway, after having a look at the links below, if you are from another country let me know what you think, and also if your country has a similar type category of person, and if so, what do you refer to them as.

This American had never heard of that term before. It sounds like an unintelligent person who tends to wear certain fashions. I guess we would have names for different fashions. The poorer would tend to be trailer trash, skeezer for the slutty types, redneck for the country jerks, dunce, dope, airhead. I can't think of a generic term to fit them all.
