Youth boundaries and crime

Authors

  • Rogelio Marcial Vázquez Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana

Abstract

This article aims to understand the contemporary forms of high-mobility youth interaction within the intersticial spaces of society, breaking symbolic and identity boundaries to escape from the hierarchical, age-based adultcentric point of view imposed on them. All of this refers these people to situations of control, repression and illegality; that prevents them from achieving their emancipation by means of a life project based on welfare, solidarity, social security and personal fulfillment.

Keywords:

youth, intercultural boundaries, legal conflicts, adultcentrism
