Subject: Social evils: deep sense of unease about greed, individualism and decline of community

What are today's social evils?

People feel a deep sense of unease about some of the changes shaping British society, according to our consultation on modern-day social evils.

Individualism, greed, a decline of community and a decline of values were among the social evils that worried participants most. In addition, people also identified:

• drugs and alcohol;
• poverty and inequality;
• decline of the family;
• immigration and responses to immigration;
• crime and violence;
• young people as victims or perpetrators.
