Boys, Young Men and Violence Book

In this new book, which draws upon data collected over an 18 year period with more than 1000 boys, Dr Ken Harland and Prof Sam McCready (Community Youth Work, Ulster University) provide a revealing insight into the lives and development of young men.  Examining the particular pressures that impact upon young men such as masculinity, marginalisation, male youth sub-culture, and what are acceptable and unacceptable levels of violence, they present the voices and experiences of men from a range of community backgrounds and cultural traditions in Northern Ireland.  To find out more, see: http://uir.ulster.ac.uk/32567
