Over recent years, the Government focus on anti-social behaviour
has been replaced by a focus on respect. Tony Blair's 'Respect
Action Plan' was launched in January 2006, Gordon Brown has spoken
of "duty, responsibility, and respect for others", and the
Conservatives have launched their 'Real Respect Agenda'. Within
government, the respect agenda has a cross-departmental influence,
but like anti-social behaviour before it, 'respect' has not yet
been tightly defined. And what is it about the contemporary UK that
sees respect as lacking, that in order to tackle anti-social
behaviour we first need to 'secure respect'? Until now, there has
been little attention in the academic and policy literature on the
Government's push for respect. "Securing respect" contains ten
essays from leading academics in the field that consider the
origins, current interpretations and possible future for the
Respect Agenda. The contributors explore various policy and
theoretical discourses relating to 'respect', behavioural
expectations and anti-social behaviour. The book follows the five
key themes of: respect in context; young people and children;
communities and families; city living; and issues of identity and
values. "Securing respect" is inter-disciplinary, linking theory
and practice, and will be of value to practitioners, academics and
students with interests in criminology, socio-legal studies, social
policy, urban geography, housing, social history, sociology and
landscape.
