Securing an Urban Renaissance Crime, Community And British Urban Policy

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 civilise, 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.Atkinson, Rowland is the author of 'Securing an Urban Renaissance Crime, Community And British Urban Policy', published 2007 under ISBN 9781861348142 and ISBN 1861348142.
