Abstract

This chapter presents an assessment of New Labour’s policy discourse on community safety, cohesion and wellbeing, and how this discourse translated into social policy measures and practices rolled out over the ten years following Blair’s election victory in 1997. More specifically, the chapter will deal in turn with three key priority areas of New Labour’s social policy agenda – community safety, urban regeneration and community cohesion. It will briefly describe the background issues to each of these policy areas followed by a critique of the policies themselves.
