This research was funded by the Home Office as a small complementary study to the National Evaluation of On Track. On Track is a pilot project for the comprehensive provision of early and multiple interventions for children and families in areas of high deprivation and crime. Twenty-four pilot projects in England and Wales are delivering services with the aim of reducing the risks of children becoming involved in antisocial and criminal behaviour.
This study was designed to enhance understanding of deprived, high crime communities by exploring perceptions of the local area of different groups living and working in the community: children, parents, residents, local politicians and leaders, professionals and service providers. Four of the 24 On Track areas were selected as case study examples of a range of urban and rural contexts.
