This book outlines and systematises findings from a growing body of
research that examines the different rationales, dimensions and
dynamics of risk-taking in current societies; providing insight
into the different motivations and social roots of risk-taking to
advance scholarly debates and improve social regulation.
Conceptually, the book goes beyond common approaches which
problematise socially undesirable risk-taking, or highlight the
alluring character of risk-taking. Instead, it follows a broadly
interpretivist approach and engages in examining motives, control,
routinisation, reflexivity, skills, resources, the role of identity
in risk-taking and how these are rooted in and framed by different
social forces. Zinn draws on qualitative studies from different
theoretical and conceptual backgrounds such as phenomenology,
hermeneutics, pragmatism, feminism, class analysis, theory of
practice and discourse analysis among others, to outline key
distinctions and concepts central to the understanding of
risk-taking. It will be a key resource for everyone who is
concerned with the understanding and management of risk-taking in
all kinds of social domains, such as immigration, youth, leisure
sports, crime, health, finance, and social policy.
