Community, Conflict and the State - Rethinking Notions of 'Safety', 'Cohesion' and 'Wellbeing' (Hardcover, First)

This book argues that current policies for ensuring community safety don't address the key issues and outlines new ways of enhancing social wellbeing. It argues pro-market policies and actions of major corporations are also a threat to community safety. It presents radical but grounded ideas for social policy.Community safety is a narrowly defined concept that allows states to ignore arguably more serious threats caused by pro-market policies and the actions of major corporations. This book redresses the idea of what constitutes a social harm and outlines a new policy agenda.
