Description: "How do changes in the urban environment impact upon local communities? How do changes in housing provision and consumption impact upon crime patterning? How do community groups perceive and respond to neighbourhood change, crime, and disorder?".

"Key questions such as these are examined using a multidisciplinary approach, based on original empirical research. The book will appeal to students and researchers in urban criminology, sociology, human geography, urban studies and social policy. Professionals in community safety, policing, housing and planning will also find it thought provoking and a useful source of reference. Students of urban criminology in the United States will find the text a useful companion to their literature.

Local authorities are implementing safety strategies, and crime, disorder and the problems of neighbourhood renewal are high on the political agenda, making the book a particularly timely contribution."--BOOK JACKET.
