Lecture 8 adolescence ii other experiences model. Male youth street culture: pavis and cunningham-burley (1999: setting the stage: Growing concern about youth, especially young men, and how they spend their leisure time i. e. , drinking, smoking, doing drugs, hanging out, nuisance. The media attention and piecemeal policy responses reflect the moral panic that surrounds these young people and their behaviour: lead to knee jerk reactions. Individualistic level and not in terms of their what their living conditions were like, employment opportunities, and etc: health relevant behaviours = specific to the subgroups we"re looking at. Something different: these researchers wanted to understand the meanings and motivations of the young people on the streets. Methodology: part of a larger mixed methods (qualitative + quantitative) project that followed 106 male youth from the completion of high school into post-secondary, they narrowed their focus for subsequent analysis to the issue of leisure time.
