See, for example, Resistance Through Rituals: Youth sulrcultures in post-war Britain, Hutchinson 1976; On Ideology, Hutchinson 1978; Working Class Culture: Studies in History and Theory, Hutchinson 1979; Culture, Media, Language, Hutchinson 1980.

It is worth remembering that in the period 1975-77 average real take-home pay fell by eight per cent as a result of Labour's income policies: see P. Ormerod, 'The economic record', in N. Bosanquet and P. Townsend (eds), Labour and Equality: A Fabian Study of Labour in Power, 1974-79, Heinemann 1980. For analyses of Labour's cuts in welfare, see Conference of Socialist Economists, Struggle over the State: Cuts and Restructuring in Contemporary Britain, CSE Books 1979, and I. Gough, The Political Economy of the Welfare State, Macmillan 1979, pp.128ff.

Much of the evidence on the failure of social democratic reform was brought together in J. Westergaard and H. Resler, Class in a Capitalist Society, Heinemann 1975.

For an anlysis of media treatment of the welfare state, see P. Golding and S. Middleton, 'Making claims: news media and the welfare state', Media, Culture and Society, January 1979, and Images of Welfare, Martin Robertson 1982.

The construction of a moral panic around 'mugging' is superbly analysed in Policing the Crisis, op. cit.

See, for example, the highly influential Schooling in Capitalist America by S. Bowles and H. Gintis, Routledge and Kegan Paul 1976; and more surprisingly, R. Deem, Women and Schooling, Routledge and Kegan Paul 1978.

This form of research is still influential and has been given a new lease of life by the Oxford Mobility Studies; for a critique,

see T. Johnson and A. Rattansi , 'Social mobility without class', Economy and Society , vol.10, no.2, 1981.

The findings of many of the early investigations were brought together in A. Little and J.

Westergaard , 'The trend of class differentials in educational opportunity', British Journa of Sociology, vol. 15, 1964.

A.H. Halsey et al , Origins and Destinations: Family, Class and Education in Modern Britain, Oxford University Press 1980. For a critical examination of the conceptualisation underlying this study, see Johnson and Rattansi, op. cit.

Most of the arguments of the Black Paperites are effectively rebutted in N. Wright, Progress in Education , Croom Helm 1977.

For another analysis of the Green Paper, see J. Donald, 'Green Paper noise of crisis', Screen Education 30, Spring 1979.

This assumption is also a problematic feature of an otherwise brilliant analysis of schooling by another member of CCCS: P. Willis, Learning to Labour. How Working Class Kids Get Working Class Jobs, Saxon House 1978.

It is worth pointing out that this is particularly true ofthe black 'fraction' ofthe working class: cf J. Rex and S. Tomlinson, Colonial Immigrants in a British City, Routledge and Kegan Paul 1979.
