This book is about family life in areas of concentrated poverty and
social problems - areas where it is difficult to bring up children
and where surrounding conditions make family life more fraught and
more difficult. The book is based on a long-run UK study of
neighborhood conditions as they affect parents raising their
children. The book draws on the lives of 200 families that the
authors interviewed annually over a 10 year period. It examines the
future prospects of families living in low income urban areas that
suffer multiple problems of deprivation. It provides a unique
insight into: what families need, what works and doesn't work, what
helps or hinders, what is left to do, and which new approaches may
be helpful. (Series: CASE Studies on Poverty, Place and Policy)
