This book updates the progress into adulthood of the cohort of
fourteen-year-olds who were recruited and tracked until they were
eighteen years old. Illegal Leisure (1998) described their
adolescent journeys and lifestyles, focusing on their early regular
drinking and extensive 'recreational' drug use. This new edition
revisits these original chapters, providing commentaries around
them to discuss current implications of the original publication,
plus documenting and discussing the group at twenty-two and
twenty-seven years of age. Illegal Leisure Revisited positions the
journeys of these twenty-somethings against the ever-changing
backdrop of a consumption-oriented leisure society, the rapid
expansion of the British night-time economy and the place of
substance use in contemporary social worlds. It presents to the
reader the ways in which these young people have moved into the
world of work, long-term relationships and parenthood, and the
resulting changes in the function and frequency of their drinking
and drug-use patterns. Amid dire public health warnings about their
favourite intoxicants, and with the growing criminalisation of a
widening array of recreational drugs, the book revisits these young
people as they continue as archetypal citizens in a risk society.
The book is ideal reading for researchers and undergraduate
students from a variety of fields, such as developmental and social
psychology, sociology, criminology, cultural and health studies.
Professionals working in criminal justice, health promotion, drugs
education, harm reduction and treatment will also find this book an
invaluable resource.
