Fair Play
This accessible reader brings together a selection of highly influential writings by Danny Dorling which look at inequality and social justice, why they matter and what they are. Encompassing an extensive range of print and online media - including newspaper articles and key publications - 'Fair Play' provides evidence that Britain is becoming more politically, socially and economically divided whilst coming together in terms of educational outco…
Injustice
Few would dispute that we live in an unequal and unjust world, but what causes this inequality to persist? Leading social commentator and academic Danny Dorling claims in this timely book that in rich countries inequality is no longer caused by not having enough resources to share, but by unrecognised and unacknowledged beliefs which actually propagate it. Based on significant research across a range of fields, in Injustice Dorling argues that, a…

Why are suicide rates rising in young men but falling in the elderly?-a time-series analysis of trends in England and Wales 1950-1998
Urban-rural differences in suicide trends in young adults
The Politics of Statistics
Dans cet article, l'A. fait part de ses reflexions concernant l'utilisation de la statistique par les sciences politiques. En confrontant les statistiques dans un contexte politique aux politiques administratives, a la gouvernance et a l'identite des individus, l'A. rapelle que cet outil d'analyse est avant tout un instrument de comprehension sociale, et souligne l'importance de l'enseignement de cette discipline
Putting time, person and place together
It is now rmly established that there are social and spatial inequalities in health in Britain, and that these have been widening since the late 1970s/early 1980s. Since the publication of the hugely in uential Black Report (DHSS, 1980) a growing body of research has documented the growth of health inequalities in Britain and
Population change and mortality in men and women
The association between population change and mortality has been investigated for over a century. In the Supplement to the 35th Annual Report of the Registrar-General (1861–1870) it was evident that rapidly urbanising areas, with increasing populations, experienced relatively adverse mortality trends, while districts with declining populations did rather better.1 In 1930 Lewis-Faning1showed that between 1860 and 1910 more rapid population growth …
A century of inequality in England and Wales using standardized geographical units
This paper analyses geographical trends in relative poverty in England and Wales over the last century by comparing key quantitative indicators from key dates. The comparison is made possible by interpolating all the datasets onto a single standardized geography. Results suggest rising inequality in spite of the decline in absolute poverty
Class Dealignment and the Neighbourhood Effect
The concept of a neighbourhood effect within British voting patterns has largely been discarded, because no data have been available for testing it at the appropriate spatial scales. To undertake such tests, bespoke neighbourhoods have been created around the home of each respondent to the 1997 British Election Study survey in England and Wales, and small-area census data have been assembled for these to depict the socio-economic characteristics …

Ecological study of social fragmentation, poverty, and suicide
Objectives: To investigate the association between suicide and area based measures of deprivation and social fragmentation. Design: Ecological study. Setting: 633 parliamentary constituencies of Great Britain as defined in 1991. Main outcome measures: Age and sex specific mortality rates for suicide and all other causes for 1981-92. Results: Mortality from suicide and all other causes increased with increasing Townsend deprivation score, social f…
Mapping
Illustrates how maps tell us as much about the people and the powers which create them, as about the places they show. Presents historical and contemporary evidence of how the human urge to describe, understand and control the world is presented through the medium of mapping, together with the individual and environmental constraints of the creator of the map
The epidemiology of the Liberal Democrat vote
Crooked margins and marginal seats
Electoral Registration, Population Mobility and the Democratic Franchise
A core concern of population geography is with the size, location and movement of groups of people. Most census analysis concentrates on various types of ‘residents’ of an area; many studies concentrate on ‘households’ while the population subgroups receiving considerable attention include children, the elderly, refugees, and ethnic minorities. The size, location and movement of one (very large and significant) group has received little attention…

Inequalities in life and death
"Death in Britain" reported changes in death inequalities from the 1950s to the 1990s and claimed that Britain was failing to reach Target One of the World Health Organization - to reduce inequalities in health by 2000. This work argues that Britain has failed and contains evidence of the still-widening geograhical gap in mortality in Britain. The report looks at the role played by age, gender, social class and unemployment in producing geographi…

Those Missing Millions
This article highlights some of the issues raised by incomplete coverage of the 1991 census in Britain, illustrating how far-reaching are its implications across the spectrum of social statistics. The origins and the current state-of-play of the debate over the distribution of the non-response are summarised and the implications then assessed. For many census variables, non-response reduces the observed variation between areas, with consequences …

Who has negative equity? How house price falls in Britain have hit different groups of home buyers
This paper reports the results of a study which used a set of individual mortgage records from a major building society to examine the distribution of negative equity between different categories of borrowers in Britain by the third quarter of 1993. The major findings are: negative equity was disproportionately held by borrowers with properties in the South East (although there are very significant micro‐spatial variations); only in the northern …
A Debt-owing Democracy
The 1992 British general election took place in the context of a severe housing recession which hit hardest in those regions from which the government usually drew much of its electoral support. The slump notwithstanding, however, the government went on to win its fourth successive election victory. The paper investigates the impact of the housing recession on the geography of the vote at the 1992 general election. Party fortunes were linked to l…
Negative Equity and British Housing in the 1990s
This paper is concerned with the emergence in Britain in the early 1990s of a large group of domestic mortgage holders with negative equity (i.e. whose property had fallen below the value of the mortgage advance used to purchase that property). The emergence of negative equity is traced to the conjunction of the long-term trend towards wider home-ownership in Britain and the effects of deregulation of the financial system in the 1980s. Using indi…

Using Triangular Graphs for Representing, Exploring and Analysing Electoral Change
Although electoral triangles have been used by several researchers to display election results in three-party contests, measures of change have not been derived from them that allow rigorous analysis of the interconstituency variations in change. We have recently derived two such measures, and in this paper subject them for the first time to analytic evaluation, and we use visualization methods to explore relationships and statistical procedures …
Measuring Electoral Change in Three-Party Systems
In a recent paper in this journal, Butler and Van Peek (1990) advocated analyzing patterns of electoral change in the USA with the swing statistic—the average change in the share of the vote won by two parties contesting successive elections. The generality of their case was countered by Rose (1991), who showed that most liberal democracies do not have two-party systems; thus the swing statistic, which involves comparing the performance of two pa…
