Abstract

An exploration of territorial behaviour among young people in disadvantaged areas of British cities. Territoriality among young people has been identified in some previous studies as a source of social exclusion and disadvantage and as one of the roots of gang behaviour. It has also begun to be recognised by policy-makers working to improve young people’s life chances and to promote safer communities. This research focuses on understanding territoriality in its own right and examines: what territoriality is, how it is experienced by young people and who is involved; the origins of territoriality in disadvantaged places the impacts of territoriality on young people’s lives; the range of projects which aim to deter or counteract territorial behaviour; the public policy implications of recognising territoriality as an important social force in disadvantaged places.
