Bücher von Jock Young

Describes the sources of late modern vertigo as twofold: insecurities of status and of economic position. This book engages with the ways in which modern society attempts to explain deviant behaviour - whether it be crime, terrorism or riots - in terms of motivations and desires separate and distinct from those of the 'normal'.

Jock Young charts the movement of the social fabric in the last third of the twentieth century from an inclusive society of stability and homogeneity to an exclusive society of change and division. The result is an exciting and highly innovative work with wide appeal.
