Dropping off the edge CLIENT Dropping off the edge PROJECT DESCRIPTION Disadvantage multiplies once a community starts to fall behind according to a major Jesuit and Catholic Social Services-commissioned "postcode" report moving Jesuit Fr Peter Norden to warn that communities will increasingly become "gated" if the problems are not tackled now. That report, under the authorship of Professor Tony Vinson, is a major new report which maps the distribution of social disadvantage throughout Australia. Australia's neediest communities are being held hostage by a succession of social ills from joblessness to jail time, child abuse, poor health and limited education, the study Dropping off the edge shows. Visit the Dropping off the edge website created by Fraynework and order a copy of the report. Detailed interactive maps and statistical data will soon be available online. http://www.australiandisadvantage.org.au/
