Hate couture
Article Abstract:
French skinheads are a subculture of young people with views on the political right. They aim to be unobtrusive due to police pressure. They have a hierarchical structure, and tend to hold racist views. They are often from families which have suffered economic hardship and which have other problems such as a family member in prison. They tend to criticise the French National Front due to its rejection of violence, though they carry out work as security guards for the National Front.
