First published in 1997, this volume is concerned primarily, though
not exclusively, with one particular vulnerable group: unqualified
young men on the margins. These young men, whose cultures of
machismo, manualism and anti-mentalism previously served to prepare
them for the manual labour market, are increasingly the careerless,
the jobless and the folk-devils of the modern, post-industrial
society. In research, they have received considerable attention,
though more for their capacity to be spectacular, deviant and
bizarre than through the deep anxieties and despondency about the
future experienced by many. Howard Williamson contends that the
development of effective youth policy depends essentially upon a
synthesis of political priorities, professional agendas and young
people's perspectives and responses. While not quite an
'underclass', many suffer from a 'tangle of pathologies' which
obstructs the possibility of them finding a way back into
mainstream economic, housing and relationship transitions.
