Depending on their dynamics, neighbourhoods may serve to contain or
exacerbate youth violence. This book uses fascinating ethnographic
and interview data to explore the disappearance of localized
relationships in a South London housing estate. Through a
comparative analysis of the experiences of different generations,
James Alexander considers the impact of both wider socio-economic
developments and the gradual move from neighbourly to professional
support for young people. As well as evaluating the effectiveness
of youth work programmes, he considers how the actions of
neighbours and the decisions of policymakers influence how
supported young people feel and, consequently, their vulnerability
to criminal influences.
