About the book:
This collection adds weight to an emerging argument that suggests that policies in
place to make cities better places are inextricably linked to an attempt to civilize,
pacify and regulate crime and disorder in urban areas, contributing to a vision of
an urban renaissance which is perhaps as much about control as it is about the broader
physical and social renewal of our towns and cities.
The book has three key themes: the theories, strategies and assumptions underpinning
the securing of 'Urban Renaissance'; the agendas of current urban policy in the field
of crime control; and, thirdly, the role of communities within these agendas. The
book provides focused discussions and engagement with these issues from a range of
scholars who examine policy connections that can be traced between social, urban and
crime policy and the wider processes of regeneration in British towns and cities.
The book also seeks to develop our understanding of policies, theories and practices
surrounding contemporary British urban policy where a move from concerns with 'urban
renaissance' to those of sustainable communities clearly intersect with issues of
community security, policing and disorder.
Providing a rare disciplinary crossover between urban studies, criminology and community
studies, "Securing an Urban Renaissance" will be essential reading for academics and
students in criminology, social policy and human geography concerned with the future
of British cities and the political debates shaping the regulation of conduct, crime
and disorder in these spaces. |
