Documenting young people’s experiences of homelessness, crime and danger, this book analyzes the construction of homelessness as a social and legal 'problem'. It addresses themes of home and homelessness, exclusion and marginality, and risk and urban incivilities.
Youth homelessness increased rapidly during the late 1980s and early 1990s, at a time when street homelessness in particular became increasingly associated in the popular mind with dangerousness and criminality. This book analyzes the construction of homelessness as a social and legal ''problem'' and documents young people’s own experiences of homelessness, crime and danger. Drawing on the authors’ own field work in a range of urban and rural locations, the book addresses themes of home and homelessness, of exclusion and marginality and of risk and urban incivilities.
