      abstract = {This book outlines and systematises findings from a  growing body of research that examines the different  rationales, dimensions and dynamics of risk-taking in  current societies; providing insight into the different  motivations and social roots of risk-taking to advance  scholarly debates and improve social regulation.  Conceptually, the book goes beyond common approaches which  problematise socially undesirable risk-taking, or highlight  the alluring character of risk-taking. Instead, it follows  a broadly interpretivist approach and engages in examining  motives, control, routinisation, reflexivity, skills,  resources, the role of identity in risk-taking and how  these are rooted in and framed by different social forces.  Zinn draws on qualitative studies from different  theoretical and conceptual backgrounds such as  phenomenology, hermeneutics, pragmatism, feminism, class  analysis, theory of practice and discourse analysis among  others, to outline key distinctions and concepts central to  the understanding of risk-taking. It will be a key resource  for everyone who is concerned with the understanding and  management of risk-taking in all kinds of social domains,  such as immigration, youth, leisure sports, crime, health,  finance, and social policy.},
