- men are ignored in a patriarchal way
- challenged and differs
- varing impact on behaviour
- males are socialised into hegomonic masculinity
- achieve goals through sport/ employment
- if blocked it causes strain and frustration
- goal blockages used to "do" gender
- legitimately
- if blocked it causes strain and frustration
- stereotype that women are good and men are bad
- categorising and labelling causes violence
- white working class boys are less likely to achieve
- "sissy stuff" and causing mischief/ pranks
- types of crime = theft, fighting and hate crimes
- white middle class boys accomodate imasculating experiences in school
- non violent crimes like vandalism and binge drinking
- men are seen as unidimensional and stereotypical
- more careful thoughts towards causation of crime and how it shapes the gender problem
- crime = gutsy, cool, fearless, real man
- define masculinity through paid work, subordination of women and hetrosexism
- must accomplish masculinity
- racial minority and lower class school is boring and humiliating
- turn to physical violence, gang violence, streets, robbery and crimes where the victim is dominated or humiliated
