London Housing

The research was undertaken to study the link between inequality and depravity, poverty and crime in the housing structures of London. The study found that there is wide spread economic disparity in London. This divide is evident in the living styles and the types of housing structures that people live in. The council or housing estates of the city are primarily the residences of the lower income families. This depravity among social classes creates strain within the residents many of whom resort to antisocial activities. Being influenced by socio-economic factors, some individuals also resort to crime. Thus, the estranged council and housing estates that are home to the lower economic demographics have turned into high-crime areas.
