|aTraditional understandings of what constitutes community safety havecreated a skewed understanding of crime and disorder that ignores the real threats to community cohesion and wellbeing. State-sponsored community safety strategies focus on property crime, street violence, drugs and fear of crime. While these issues should be of concern to policy makers and practitioners, this ground breaking study argues that such policies ignore more serious threats to community safety caused by the activities of the powerful - i.e. social harms caused by pro-market policies, such as the effects of welfare cut-backs on life chances - or by the actions of major corporations - such as environmental pollution. Thisbook redresses a gap in social policy and criminology by offering a different conceptual understanding of community safety, based on a more proportionate understanding of social harms inflicted on communities. Analysing how notions of b1 scommunity b2 s and b1 sconflict b2 s have beenused and understood in relation to b1 ssafety b2 s, b1 scohesion b2 s and b1 swellbeing b2 s in British social policy, this study critiques the practical policy-oriented application of these ideas,particularly in relation to b1 scommunity wellbeing b2 s. Concluding with radical suggestions forfuture social policy, the author offers practical proposals for researching and working with communities in empowering ways, which offer greater prospects for enhancing the social wellbeing ofthe many.
