The idea that Britain, the US and other western societies are
witnessing the rise of an underclass of people at the bottom of the
social heap, structurally and culturally distinct from traditional
patterns of "decent" working-class life, has become increasingly
popular in the 1990s. Anti-work, anti-social, and welfare dependent
cultures are said to typify this new "dangerous class" and
"dangerous youth" are taken as the prime subjects of underclass
theories. Debates about the family and single-parenthood, about
crime and about unemployment and welfare reforms have all become
embroiled in underclass theories which, whilst highly
controversial, have had remarkable influence on the politics and
policies of governments in Britain and the US. This text addresses
the underclass idea in relation to contemporary youth. It focuses
upon unemployment, training, the labour market, crime,
homelessness, and parenting. It should be of interest to students
of social policy, sociology and criminology.
