Could you please try to find the origin of the word hoodlum? Apart from being a synonym for "hooligan," I can find no other information. I have my own theory: "Hood" probably relates to the fact that most hoodlums don't like to be recognized for their deeds, so they pull hoods over their heads.

Why is a criminal called a "hoodlum''? I'm tempted to think ... Regardless of its origin, "come a cropper'' is now mostly used in informal contexts to mean "fizzle'' or "flop.'' Here is a typical example from our files: "The film comes a cropper through its inconsistencies, its smirks, and its ultimate heavy-handedness.''

That's far from the only silly story you're likely to hear about the origin of "hoodlum," however. Perhaps the most preposterous maintains that "hoodlum" arose simply as a mispronunciation of "hooligan," which would be a good trick, since "hoodlum" is found in print around 1870 and "hooligan" didn't appear until 1898.
