The State of the Nation: an audit of injustice in the UK / Institute for Public Policy Research - 2 Aug 2004

http://www.ippr.org.uk/research/files/team41/project193/The%20State%20of%20the%20Nation,%20An%20Audit%20of%20Injustice%20in%20the%20UK.pdf
"Forms the first part of IPPR's work on Rethinking Social Justice, a project which assesses how Britain has changed since the 1994 establishment of the Commission on Social Justice and sets out new policy directions for the decade ahead.

IPPR's'state of the nation' assessment says the Government has been:

good on poverty but not so good on inequality;
better on income inequality than on wealth inequality;
helped working parents but done less for poor people without children; and
cut crime but the poorest are still more likely to suffer crime and the fear of crime."
