Homelessness and Crime (JUSTA490-001) examines social problems associated with homelessness, including crime and victimization

What are best practices to move people out of homelessness? How do we deal with crime and other social problems associated with homelessness? How can we reduce the very high rates of victimization among homeless people? Who becomes homeless and why?
