Christopher Greig
Chapter Four of Ontario Boys explores the phenomenon of the bad boy first presented in Chapter Three. For many adults this version of boyhood stood in direct contrast to the normal boy--the bad boy was the problem boy. Under the growing influence of postwar psychology, this unsettling and at times dangerous image of the boy motivated many middle class men to develop methods and volunteer time to create character building organizations and boys’ clubs in order to prevent this kind of boy from coming into existence.
