BBC Radio 4 - Thinking Allowed, Holiday hedonism in Ibiza; White working class voters

Laurie Taylor explores the risk-taking experiences of young British tourists in Ibiza.

Laurie Taylor explores the risk-taking experiences of young British tourists in Ibiza. Also, political disaffection amongst white, working class voters.

Holiday hedonism - Laurie Taylor talks to the criminologist, Daniel Briggs, about his study into young British tourists' risk taking behaviour in Ibiza. From drug taking to prostitution, violence and injury. What leads these holidaymakers to engage in deviant, even dangerous behaviour when abroad?
Also, Nathan Manning discusses his research into the meaning and causes of white, working class political disaffection. He interviewed low wage workers in Yorkshire and the NorthWest, areas where support for the far right British National Party and low voter turnout indicate alienation from mainstream politics. He's joined by Professor of Politics, Michael Kenny.


Producer: Jayne Egerton.
