Title: Troubled Youth?
Published: November 2005
Author: Ulf Hansson
Details:
This report focuses on young people's experiences of various forms of violence and anti-social behaviour. Based on fieldwork in a number of communities in Belfast and Derry Londonderry, the report looks at the relationships between communities on either side of the sectarian divide and the role of young people in defining these as antagonistic, hostile and suspicious. The report also considers forms of intra-communal violence, the different experiences of young men and young women and the relationship of young people to the diverse structures of social authority such as the police, paramilitaries and community workers. The role of young people in street violence, rioting and anti-social behaviour is more easily observed than understood or analysed. This study aims to increase the understanding of the behaviour of young people and their attitudes to the use of violence within their daily lives.
This research was funded by the Community Relations Council through the European Special Support Programme for Peace and Reconciliation.
