目前，人们一直有兴趣衡量社会和经济环境中的地理差异，以指导城市政策资源分配决定。最近一次衡量英格兰当地贫困程度的尝试是通过政府的多重贫困指数（IMD）。作者的目的是考虑IMD在多大程度上提供了这样做的可靠机制，并建议其继任者可能最好的改进方式。他们认为，尽管IMD在许多方面代表了量化剥夺技术发展方面的一个值得称赞的进步，但未来的方法仍然存在重大局限性。
There is now a sustained interest in measuring geographical variation in social and economic circumstances in order to guide urban policy resource allocation decisions. The most recent attempt to measure local area deprivation in England has come through the government's Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD). The authors aim to consider the degree to which the IMD provides a reliable mechanism for doing so and to suggest the ways in which its successors might best be refined. They argue that although the IMD, in many respects, represents a commendable advance in terms of the development of techniques to quantify deprivation, there remain significant limitations that future approaches could profitably address.
