Contributors consider whether homelessness leads to crime, whether people without homes are more likely to offend, and whether they are also victims of crime.
The collection asks whether helping people without homes is a shared responsibility, and includes arguments for and against government-funded shelter.
Topics include youth homelessness, abuse and violence, untreated mental illness, poverty, crime and imprisonment.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
