Abstract

There are estimated to be 340,000 16-29-year-olds with disabilities in Britain (Martin et al., 1988). Despite their numbers and heterogeneity they have remained largely invisible in representations of youth culture. Images of ‘super cripples’ overcoming all odds (Figure 5.1), evil ‘monsters’, bitter and twisted in body and mind, or pitiful charity cases in need of care and attention, account for most billboard, film and other media images of disabled youths (Longmore, 1985; Barnes, 1991).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
