Over the last 25 years a vast body of literature has been
published on neighbourhood effects: the idea that living in more
deprived neighbourhoods has a negative effect on residents' life
chances over and above the effect of their individual
characteristics. The volume of work not only reflects academic and
policy interest in this topic, but also the fact that we are still
no closer to answering the question of how important neighbourhood
effects actually are. There is little doubt that these effects
exist, but we do not know enough about the causal mechanisms which
produce them, their relative importance in shaping individual's
life chances, the circumstances or conditions under which they are
most important, or the most effective policy responses.
Collectively, the chapters in this book offer new perspectives on
these questions, and refocus the academic debate on neighbourhood
effects. The book enriches the neighbourhood effects literature
with insights from a wide range of disciplines and countries.
