Author: GoWell Title: Who says teenagers are a serious problem? GoWell's findings on householder perceptions of youth related problems in deprived areas of Glasgow Summary: Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city, is receiving significant investment in regeneration aimed at improving and transforming disadvantaged homes, neighbourhoods and communities. GoWell is a research and learning programme that aims to investigate the impact of investment in Glasgow’s regeneration on the health and wellbeing of individuals, families and communities over a ten-year period. In 2006 GoWell researchers surveyed 6,008 adult householders (aged 16 years or over) in 14 relatively deprived Glasgow neighbourhoods to obtain an initial picture of what people thought about their homes, neighbourhoods and communities. One of the findings that stood out was that just over half the householders we spoke to perceived teenagers hanging around the street to be a problem in their local area. It was the kind of finding that could attract headlines – but we know that many people are critical of headlines that encourage negative stereotyping of young people. The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child (2008) described a ‘general climate of intolerance and negative public attitudes toward children, especially adolescents’ in the UK. Nonetheless, policies associated with antisocial behaviour often focus on young people: for example the most recent Scottish Government Framework on preventing anti-social behaviour makes over 100 references to young people. We have therefore produced a briefing paper to consider the findings in more detail (this is only the first part of a much larger programme of analysis into the issue).

Author: GoWell Title: Intolerance and adult perceptions of antisocial behaviour: focus group evidence from disadvantaged neighbourhoods of Glasgow Summary: The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child recently singled out the UK for its ‘general climate of intolerance and negative public attitudes towards children, especially adolescents’. In this paper, we explore adult perspectives on intolerance and antisocial behaviour (ASB) using focus groups involving residents of disadvantaged neighbourhoods in Glasgow. This study was conducted as part of the GoWell Programme which investigates experiences and impacts of urban regeneration in Glasgow. The findings were analysed to address four key questions summarised within. Details: Glasgow, Scotland: GoWell, 2011. 20p.

Author: GoWell Title: Young people's experience of intolerance, antisocial behaviour and keeping safe in disadvantaged areas of Glasgow Summary: The view that intolerance towards young people is rife in the UK has been widely advanced. UK surveys show that a substantial minority of adults describe teenagers as a serious problem in their local area. The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child recently singled out the UK for its ‘general climate of intolerance and negative public attitudes towards children, especially adolescents’. In this paper, we explore young people’s own perspectives on intolerance and antisocial behaviour (ASB) using interviews and focus groups involving young residents of disadvantaged neighbourhoods in Glasgow. We found evidence that young people believed they were the object of conscious and unconscious stereotyping by adults. In addition, young people held negative perceptions of other young people in their neighbourhood and used similar stereotypes to the adults in the neighbourhood. We also found evidence of young people experiencing ASB and taking steps to secure their own safety within the neighbourhood. We conclude that while young people may be the object of adult intolerance, they are also actively developing their own social attitudes about their peers and community that at times appear unsafe to them. Therefore, policy and practice in this area need to reflect two broad interpretations of young people’s ASB: one that emphasises the involvement of young people in such behaviour and another that focuses on negative attitudes towards young people.

Author: Flint, John Title: Evaluation Study of Reidvale Housing Association Community Policing Initiative Summary: It is important that the community policing initiative continues to be conceived as one part of a wider range of interventions to both prevent and manage anti-social behaviour, with clear roles here for the housing association, police, schools and local youth facilities and organizations. There is overwhelming support from residents, police and housing officers for extending the additional policing initiative. In part this recognises its successes and also the costs associated with ending the initiative. Continuing the initiative is now rated a top priority by a majority of local residents in the survey, although over 80 percent of them believe responsibility for tackling anti-social behaviour lies with the police. A strong argument may also be put forward for the cost-benefits of the initiative arising from falling levels of anti-social behaviour. It is important to note that these benefits will accrue to the police, other agencies and other residents as well as to Reidvale Housing Association and its tenants.
