| Annotation | A pre-selected group of residents of deprived neighbourhoods was asked about various aspects of social exclusion as a concept. Responses were compared with definitions of social exclusion used by Tania Burchardt, Julian Le Grand and David Piachaud in their 1999 article in Social Policy and Administration, "Social exclusion in Britain, 1991-1995". In general, residents' understanding of the term corresponded well with the more academic definitions. However, there were significant differences in one or two key areas: for example, the importance of neighbourhood and "service poverty", and the need for action against aspects of social exclusion on the grounds of social justice. This confirms that it might be useful for more academic concepts to be tested against the views of those with experience of the phenomenon which the concept is trying to capture. (RH). |
