If you are serious, then I suggest you look into the collapse of dock work and industry in the north of the city (25,000 dockers down to 250 today). Have a look into the generation differences, how people today often have no 'working' family members to emulate-benefits being the norm. Also take a look unto the underworld of the area. A lot of younger people turn to drug crime as it is often more profitable than legitimate work. Find out about how large the local black market is, look into social housing policy, policing policy, lack of inward investment (supermarkets are large scale employers) etc.
Get cracking on that and let us know what you come up with.
