Research proposal

  1. Examine and explain how Raewyn Connell’s notion of hegemonic masculinity (HM) effects young men and increases their likelihood of involvement in drug crimes (Jewkes 2004).
  2. Has the media desensitized young men by glorifying the use and supply of illicit drugs?
  3. Is there a direct correlation between the idea of hegemonic masculinity and young men’s involvement in illicit drug use and crime?
