John Flint (Ed.), Housing, Urban Governance, and Antisocial Behavior: Perspectives, Policy, and Practice (Bristol, UK: The Policy Press, 2006)

摘要

Policymakers and public officials throughout Europe, but especially in the United Kingdom, have expressed increased concern about rising levels of antisocial behavior (ASB) among residents of social housing. Local authorities are implementing controversial strategies for behavior control within the administration and management of not only social housing, but in more public areas as well. Housing, Urban Governance, and Antisocial Behavior, edited by John Flint, brings together contributions from different disciplines and nations so as to consider the interplay between the provision of social housing and attempts to manage the behavior of its residents. Chapters cover prevailing discourses concerning housing and ASB, policy and program analyses, and the results of empirical research. While this book may be of most value to housing researchers, particularly British ones, anyone interested in efforts to control behavior in urban spaces should find it interesting.
