Young People, Risk and Leisure - Constructing Identities in Everyday Life (Hardcover, 2004 ed.)

Social theorists have claimed that modern life, being increasingly risky and uncertain, is profoundly affecting experiences of everyday life and our sense of self. Drawing upon empirical and theoretical work on young people's risk taking and leisure, this book examines such claims in detail. Various authors apply and respond to notions of "risk society" by grounding such ideas in specific perceptions of risk and practices of risk management, revealing the complexity of risk and its social and gender specific nature.
