Are Housing Estates Ticking Timebombs?Monday 1 September 2003
Housing Estates
Do our housing estates replicate the explosive conditions of Liberia, Palestine and Sierra Leone?

Are we on the verge of all-out rebellion with the disproportionate numbers of young people on our doorsteps? Or are we simply over-anxious about behaviour dismissed as 'jolly japes' amongst middle class youth?
Sarah Woolman talks to a group of teenagers about growing up and living on housing estates. While Jenni is joined by David Willetts, Shadow Secretary for Work and Pensions and author of Eastenders, Professor Anne Power From the London School of Economics.
