Description

This volume examines the youth service and the values, attitudes, culture and needs of working class youth in Northern Ireland. It explores why some young people participate in youth clubs and others do not; how patterns of participation differ by gender, class and religion; how young people use their leisure time if they are not involved with youth clubs (and whether youth clubs could meet their needs). It concentrates on young people's views, exploring the tensions and contradictions of working class youth culture.
