[SR: 21435147], Hardcover, [EAN: 9780335215355], Open University Press, Open University Press, Book, [PU: Open University Press], Open University Press, This illuminating new book embeds our understanding of the youth question within a historical context. It shows how the ideas of past political action, in conjunction with the diverse paradigms of social science disciplines, have shaped modern conceptions of the youth question. This relationship between the political and the academic is then explored through a detailed examination of contemporary debates about youth, in areas such as; transitions, education, crime policy and criminology, consumption and youth culture. From this analysis the book is able to show how the youth question in late modernity is being shaped. This important text includes: a historical overview of the making of modern youth, identifying major changes that took place over three centuries; examples of how political and academic responses construct youth as a social problem;, 17496, Social Issues, 15356801, Being a Teen, 10368639011, Bullying, 16926993011, Civil & Human Rights, 3045731, Dating & Intimacy, 17515, Death, 171183, Depression & Mental Health, 171184, Drug & Alcohol Abuse, 17500, Family, 10368645011, Homelessness & Poverty, 171191, LGBT Issues, 13922508011, Peer Pressure, 10368646011, Physical & Emotional Abuse, 171192, Pregnancy, 171193, Prejudice, 171187, Self-Esteem, 13922509011, Self-Esteem & Self-Reliance, 15356811, Sexual Abuse, 13922511011, Special Needs, 171190, Suicide, 17510, Violence, 28, Teen & Young Adult, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 3048861, Children's Studies, 11232, Social Sciences, 3377866011, Politics & Social Sciences, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 11288, Sociology, 16244271, Abuse, 271633011, Class, 297480, Death, 11291, Marriage & Family, 16311191, Medicine, 10582, Race Relations, 11293, Rural, 11294, Social Theory, 11296, Urban, 3377866011, Politics & Social Sciences, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 491478, Sociology, 468214, Social Sciences, 465600, New, Used & Rental Textbooks, 2349030011, Specialty Boutique, 283155, Books<
