Críticas:
"Gregg Barak's book is a highly readable and interesting account of homelessness in the 1980s in the United States. . . . In a world where scientific 'objective' accounts of the homeless and their pathologies prevail, Barak contributes a much-needed alternative voice. . . . [The book also contains an] informative and up-to-date treatment of current social policy and social action regarding homelessness, including an analysis of recent legislation, current services, nonprofit agency responses, ongoing legal battles, and the emerging 'homeless movement.' No other book that I am aware of has provided such a critical treatment of these important issues."-Leon Anderson Assistant Professor, Sociology Ohio University
Reseña del editor:
According to current projections, the number of homeless in the United States will continue to swell in the 1990s unless more aggressive efforts to combat the problem are initiated. Based upon a thorough analysis of the underlying social and political causes of homelessness in this country, this study takes a hard look at the realities and misconceptions that surround the victims. Gregg Barak demonstrates how current public service programs inadequately address the issue, and proposes governmental policy changes that could prove beneficial. In an effort to dispel the myths that stereotype the homeless, this study places their plight within the continuing domestic and worldwide economic emergency and defines their demographics according to such factors as age, sex, race, health, and education. Barak's subsequent focus on the violence and criminality associated with the condition and treatment of the homeless uncovers controversial issues of injustice and constitutionality, and aims the discussion toward possible solutions for this burgeoning problem.
