Description
Summary:	An examination of youth culture studies teenage social groups in suburban Los Angeles who are on the fringes of the mainstream. Wooden uses qualitative research strategies to find out how basically good kids move from being renegades to outlaws. Accordingly, the book investigates everything from the harmless life of the mall rat to the volatile and dangerous world of tagger crews, skinheads, and culture in he California Youth Authority. The author quotes from the popular media to highlight his points and make conceptual material relevant for students.
