Description

Explore a fresh perspective on how young people navigate risk through the lens of sociology and anthropology. In 'Youth, Risk, Routine,' Routledge presents a study that moves beyond the typical 'moral panic' narratives often seen in public discourse. Instead of viewing activities like smoking cannabis, speeding, or street-level fighting as mere poor choices or simple hedonism, this book examines the social foundations of these behaviors. Drawing from comprehensive, qualitative research conducted with young people in Denmark, the text challenges individualized accounts that focus solely on personal decisions. It provides a deep look at how risk-taking is often an integral and routinized part of social life. This book is an essential resource for students and professionals in the social sciences who want to understand the connection between youth, young adulthood, and society through a rigorous academic framework.
