5.0 out of 5 stars
The book challenges today's fears of 'unruly' youth.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Scared of the Kids?: Curfews, Crime and the Regulation of Young People (Paperback)
This book examines the way teenagers are increasingly presented as being at risk, or a risk to others, through the author's study of an estate in Glasgow in the UK. Waiton, a youth worker, argues that 'free play' (such as simply hanging out with friends in the street)is increasingly seen as fraught with risks of criminality and anti social behaviour. He also elaborates on how such exagerated contemporary fears are codified and fuelled by curfew schemes and other initiatives.I read the book as a parent and a lecturer, and I think the book provides an important counter to the presentation of young people as either a risk or at risk. Waiton rightly suggests that the exagerated fears of parents and society generally are being projected onto young people with damaging results.
