Description
This is an account of the Meadowell estate in North Shields. Although not an account of the recent riots, the book aims to inform debate on fundamental causes of civil disorder, especially by young people in "problem estates". The authors attempt to answer three questions: what influences formed the estate's character, what shapes contemporary life on Meadowell and distinguishes it from life outside, and how do these influences affect the delivery of policy?
