Safe as some houses: crime, social tenure and community safety A case study based on a CDRP in northern England Available to Purchase

This article evaluates the role that social housing tenure plays in crime reduction through the work of Churchwood's Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP). It provides evidence of offender and victim populations concentrated in social housing neighbourhoods (estates), and argues for social housing providers to take a more active role within community safety in this borough. Anti‐social behaviour, it is argued, has primacy over crime in the arena of social housing.
