Detached Lives and Faint Voices.
Reid, Nancy
Adults Learning (England), v13 n2 p21-25 Oct 2001
A study of young white British men beyond school-leaving age found that many are confused, distrusting, and aggressive; are involved with drugs or crime; are resistant to the "deficiency" model of basic skills training; lack a life framework and real work skills; and come from family backgrounds with long-term negative attitudes about schooling.
