How does government legislation affect the provision for the homeless? There are over an estimated 300,000 homeless people in the UK and ‘Rough Sleepers’ the people we see on the streets only represent a very small percentage of the total number of people caught in this epidemic.
With contributions from Dr Victoria Cooper, Dr Daniel McCulloch, Dr David Scott and Dr Mathijs Lucassen, The Homeless Problem gathers a wide range of expertise and first-hand testimonials from people that have experienced homeless in a discussion that examines topics as wide ranging as mental health to the relationship between homelessness and the criminal justice system.
