From ‘everyday economy’ to ‘securonomics’: The implications of the Chancellor’s evolution in economic thinking
People, Place and Policy is an online journal providing a forum for academic debate around issues of urban policy, social and economic regeneration, housing and the labour market. Articles deal with the situations and experiences of people and places struggling to negotiate the opportunities, constraints and risks within contemporary society
Beyond GDP’ in cities: Assessing alternative approaches to urban economic development
Crises spur reflection and re-evaluation of what matters and what is valued. The impacts of the 2008 global financial crisis, COVID-19 pandemic and climate emergency are reigniting debates about the nature of economic development approaches and what they aim to achieve in urban settings. Addressing a substantive gap in contemporary debates by helping to navigate a burgeoning and diverse field, this paper provides a critical and comparative assess…

Beyond Reciprocity: Forgiveness, Generosity, and Punishment in Continuing Dyadic Interactions
There is a long-standing debate in philosophy and the social sciences about how selfishness and cooperation function in dyadic social exchanges. Dyads are the foundation of our social lives, and reciprocity has long been considered the dominant strategy for dyadic interactions. We will argue the repertoire of human behavior during social exchanges ranges from punishment to generosity, and that the nuances of the relationship and interaction will …
A Theory of Reliance on Individuating Information and Stereotypes in Implicit Judgments of Individuals and Social Groups
We propose a theory of (a) reliance on stereotypes and individuating information in implicit person perception and (b) the relationship between individuation in implicit person perception and shifts in implicit group stereotypes. The present research preliminarily tested this theory by assessing whether individuating information or stereotypes take primacy in implicit judgments of individuals under circumstances specified by our model and then te…
Organizational Justice and Health: Reviewing Two Decades of Studies
Organizational justice refers to employees’ perceptions of the fairness of decision-making rules and policies in the workplace. Lack of justice is suggested to be a significant psychosocial risk factor that affects employees’ attitudes and health. The aim of this narrative review was to compile the evidence available about the effects of organizational justice on health. To this end, a literature search was carried out using the Web of Science, P…
Let's stay close: An examination of the effects of imagined contact on behavior toward children with disability
In line with current developments in indirect intergroup contact literature, we conducted a field study using the imagined contact paradigm among high‐status (Italian children) and low‐status (children with foreign origins) group members ( N = 122; 53 females, mean age = 7.52 years). The experiment aimed to improve attitudes and behavior toward a different low‐status group, children with disability. To assess behavior, we focused on an objective …
Building back better in urban contexts through a dual ethics of justice and care
The COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic has had sharp effects in urban settings, both in terms of exposing existing inequalities but also in presenting possibilities for reconfiguring the social and spatial organisation of urban life around new ethical foundations. This has led to political exhortations to ‘Build Back Better' (BBB) as a way of avoiding a return to the old ‘normal’ of deep and enduring structural inequalities. However, scepticism rema…
Tackling transport-related barriers to employment in low-income neighbourhoods
A study for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation carried out by a joint team from Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Sheffield has found that residents in low-income neighbourhoods are willing to travel to work but find the 90 minute maximum imposed by Jobcentre Plus to be quite unrealistic. Not only are commuting options constrained by unaffordable or unreliable public transport, but when combined with the prospect of low

Young people and UK labour market policy: A critique of ‘employability’ as a tool for understanding youth unemployment
This paper presents a critical analysis of the contemporary policy focus on promoting employability among young people in the UK. Drawing on analysis of UK policy approaches to tackling youth unemployment since the late 1970s, we suggest that existing critiques of employability as ‘supply-side orthodoxy’ fail to capture fully its evolving meaning and function. Under the UK Coalition Government, it became increasingly colonised as a targeted tool …

Any book that proclaims the death of a long-standing policy agenda leaves itself exposed to charges of haste or hyperbole. Fortunately, there are enough incisive and original insights in After Urba
Rethinking the impact of regeneration on poverty: A (partial) defence of a 'failed' policy
For decades regeneration programmes in England targeted areas where spatial concentrations of poverty exist. These 'area-based initiatives' (ABIs) came under sustained attack, however, from the previous coalition government for being expensive and ineffective. This paper assesses this claim by re-evaluating past evidence on the impact of regeneration on poverty. It finds regeneration did relatively little to transform households' material circums…

Hope in the Middle East: Malleability Beliefs, Hope, and the Willingness to Compromise for Peace
The importance of hope has long been asserted in the field of conflict resolution. However, little is actually known about either how to induce hope or what effects hope has on conciliatory attitudes. In the current research, we tested whether (1) hope is based upon beliefs regarding conflict malleability and (2) hope predicts support for concessions for peace. Study 1, a correlational study conducted among Israeli Jews, revealed that malleabilit…
Commentaries and Rejoinder on
While direct replications such as the “Many Labs” project are extremely valuable in testing the reliability of published findings across laboratories, they reflect the common reliance in psychology on single vignettes or stimuli, which limits the scope of the conclusions that can be reached. New experimental tools and statistical techniques make it easier to routinely sample stimuli, and to appropriately treat them as random factors. We encourage…
Conceptualising Local Approaches to Tackling Worklessness: The New Deal for Communities Programme as Neoliberal ‘Flanking Strategy’
Policy-makers have shown considerable enthusiasm for devolving responsibility for tackling worklessness to the local level. This approach has been critiqued by scholars who conceptualise targeted spatial interventions as ‘flanking strategies’ that co-opt individuals or neighbourhood-based organisations in the service of neoliberal goals. This paper draws on the national evaluation of the New Deal for Communities Programme to argue that such accou…

Multiple Social Categorization
A dual-route model of crossed categorisation effects
Categorisation is a pervasive psychological process that structures our social world and provides the basis for in-group favouritism. Crossed categorisation is the logical extension to theorising and research in this domain in its description and explanation of the processes and outcomes that occur when two or more dimensions of group membership become simultaneously salient or accessible. Building on previous theoretical, empirical, and meta-ana…
