Foreword Emma BELL & Gilles CHRISTOPH Université de Savoie, ENS de Lyon Throughout the ages, different labels have been applied to those who are regarded as a threat to the prevailing value system and social order of British society. From the so-called ‘dangerous classes’ of 19th-century London1 to the ‘underclass’ of contemporary Britain, composed of ‘chavs’2 and ‘hoodies’, a whole range of groups have been subject to labelling which has set them apart from mainstream society and portrayed them as being ‘deviant’. ‘Deviance’ is a rather elastic concept which can take a wide variety of forms. The principal forms of deviance discussed in this special edition of the Revue Française de Civilisation Britannique are: sexual deviance (Grosclaude); religious deviance (Esteves & Garbaye; Farwell); deviance associated with the behaviour of young people (Pickard), notably their involvement in gangs (O’Brien Castro; Chommeloux) or in particular youth cultures (Daniels; Williamson); deviance linked to trade union membership (Lenormand) and lack of participation in the workplace (Jordan); deviant forms of motherhood (Sterling; Portier-Lecocq); and deviance linked to immigration (Chaix). Most of these forms of deviant behaviour (with the exception of sexual deviance) tend to constitute ‘deviance from below’, namely the behaviour which is most readily associated with the most marginalised and disadvantaged social classes whose social problems—including illegitimacy, unemployment, welfare dependency and crime—are often presented as being inextricably linked to their deviance. Yet, ‘deviance from above’ also constitutes a significant problem. Labels are sometimes applied to the most powerful members of society who are responsible for tax avoidance on a large scale or for taking unacceptable risks in their banking activities, for example. The terms ‘fat cat’ and ‘the one per cent’ are often used to refer to those who are considered to be flouting widely accepted norms which dictate that the tax burden should be fairly distributed across society or that financial rewards should be commensurate to efforts made. Whilst these deviants do attract a considerable amount of media attention, never more so than in the wake of the most recent large-scale financial crisis and its associated banking scandals, they nonetheless remain marginal in discussion about deviance more generally. Research- wise, this is a sorry state of affairs, since there would be much to gain from richer knowledge about deviance at all levels of society—whether it originates from the lower, middle or upper classes. 1 Victor BAILEY, ‘The Fabrication of Deviance? “Dangerous Classes” and “Criminal Classes” in Victorian England’, in J. RULE and R. MALCOLMSON (eds), Protest and Survival: The Historical Experience, London: Merlin Press, 1993. 2 Owen JONES, Chavs: The Demonisation of the Working Class, London: Verso, 2011. 8 REVUE FRANÇAISE DE CIVILISATION BRITANNIQUE – VOL. 19 N° 1 The disproportionate attention accorded to the deviance of the marginalised can be ascribed to the fact that vertical labelling on the part of agents vested with institutional authority towards groups devoid of such authority—e.g. politicians or journalists casting the homeless or the unemployed as ‘underserving’ members of the community—is more socially damaging than horizontal labelling—e.g. between two neighbours who might each perceive the other as a ‘neighbour from hell’ because one has a dog who barks all day while the other plays loud

Individuals record videos of themselves while rapidly drinking excessive quantities of alcoholic drinks (necking) and then nominate friends to outdo them within 24 hours; the videos are then posted on social media such as Facebook or YouTube. The consequences of this drinking game have been very dangerous; at least 5 people under age 30 years have died after drinking deadly cocktails, and many others have suffered from alcohol intoxication.

  • Street Violence Amongst Young Men in London: Everyday Experiences of Masculinity and Fear in Public Space
    Street Violence amongst Young Men in London: everyday experiences of masculinity and fear in public space A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Michael Whelan School of Sport and Education Brunel University 30th April 2013 Abstract Arising out of widespread concerns that incidents of street violence amongst young people in the UK were spiralling out of control, this research draws on feminist deconstructions of the public -private space divide to emphasise the importance of a social constructionist perspective on street violence; street violence as it is experienced, understood and constructed by young people. Methodologically this research combines ethnography with Critical Discourse Analysis in what has been referred to as critical ethnography (Fairclough, 2001). Adopting a practitioner research approach within a primarily street based youth work setting, accounts were drawn from a range of sources, including interviews and participant observation with youth workers, young people and local public figures. This study draws out the implications for young men’s subjective experiences of the inner city streets near where they live, focusing on the construction of masculinities in the context of political pressures and institutiona lised discourses of young people. The young men in this research experienced uncertain and often fearful public spaces in which the ability to construct a credible propensity for violence was an essential part of a successful masculine identity. It is suggested that a significantly greater focus is required on critical gender identity work with young men, specifically in relation to their identity constructions in public space. 2 Contents Street Violence amongst Young Men in London: everyday experiences of masculinity and fear in public space .................................................................................................................

Each country has adopted special provisions for sex offenders. In particular, governments have focused on forms of social control after release from incarceration and probation. These policy innovations for this category of offenders have been more far reaching than those for any other offender population. The two jurisdictions have adopted policies with similar goals, but the selected strategies have important differences. Generally speaking, the U.S. has favored an ever-expanding set of policies that place sex offenders into broad categories, with few opportunities that distinguish the appropriate responses for individual offenders. The UK government observed the proliferation of Megan’s Laws1 in the U.S., and deliberately chose to establish carefully controlled releases of information, primarily relying on governmental agencies to work in multi-disciplinary groups and make case-specific decisions about individual offenders. Although the UK policy leaders expressed significant concern that the public’s response to knowing about identified sex offenders living in the community would result in vigilantism, to date the results have not born out this fear.

The Tarmac Cowboys: An Ethnographic Study of the Cultural World of Boy Racers By Zannagh Hatton Abstract Through my varying degrees of engagement with the street car culture which existed around the area where 1 lived in Comwall, 1 had become aware of the extent to which cars played an important role and represented the norm of daily discourse, entered into by others, and particularly young men. Yet as one of the dominant forms of mobility, the car appears to have been a neglected topic within sociology, cultural studies and related disciplines. Furthermore, 1 was unable to find a great deal of academic literature on the combined subjects of young men and motorcars, and in particular how consumption of the car and car related activities are used by some young men to express self-definition. This ethnographic study which has examined the cultural world of boy racers aged between 17 and 24 years is the result of my enquiry.
