Housing Studies ... a must-read for those who work in domestic violence and housing... gives a vivid insight into the modernisation agenda in today's housing associations.

Roof ... clearly presented and useful for students of the development of policy in practice in housing and domestic violence, and for people working in these areas. Journal of Social Policy This book is essential reading for anyone whose work and study touches on the areas of domestic violence and housing. However, it is much more than this, providing insight into the ways in which the government's modernisation agenda impacts on housing policy and specifically housing associations. The graphic effects of these policies on managers, frontline staff and consumers of housing services is a wonderful case study of the 'modernisation agenda' in action. Dr Catherine Humphreys, University of Warwick, UK
