Community, Crime and Disorder: Safety and Regeneration in Urban Neighbourhoods [Hardcover]

This book fills a number of gaps in the 'community and crime' literature, makes important theoretical contributions, and is based on original research. Questions explored include: How do changes in the urban environment impact upon local (high crime) communities? How do changes in housing provision and consumption influence crime patterning? Can current community safety and urban policies address the needs of high crime, mixed tenure, inner-city areas? And how do community groups respond to neighbourhood change, crime and disorder?List of Tables List of Maps and Diagrams Acknowledgements Introduction: Urban Change and Crime Researching Neighbourhood Change, Crime and Disorder Crime and the Urban Area: Explaining Neighbourhood Change and Crime Regeneration, Community Safety and Local Governance Interventions in the Mixed Housing Areas Community Responses to Crime, Decline and Disorder Conclusions and Reflections Notes Bibliography IndexLYNN HANCOCK is Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Middlesex University.
