ABSTRACT
Chapter Four explores policy responses to tackling the problems of high-crime communities which have focused on social, economic and physical regeneration of neighbourhoods. The chapter considers the ways in which policies such as Housing Market Renewal may have further entrenched the social problems which they were designed to alleviate. The chapter looks at ways in which neighbourhood policies have been increasingly ‘managed’ from above and ‘micro-managed’ at a local level to result in ‘compliant’ and ‘responsibilized’ communities.
