Evaluate the role of the media in demonising and criminalising youth culture

consider how the media (e.g. news sources as well as more contemporary forms of electronic media) has represented various forms of youth culture (both historically and in the current context). The start point for this is Stan Cohen’s work on Mods and Rockers (moral panic, etc). However, youth culture has consistently been the focus of media attention and students should consider examples beyond Stan Cohen’s work.
