- Summary:
- "Invisible Victims presents the first comprehensive, integrated study of the risks faced by people experiencing homelessness and their attempts to find safety and security in often dangerous environments. Huey draws not only on current debates on security within criminology, but also on a decade's worth of her own field research on the victimization and policing of people experiencing homelessness. A theoretically and empirically informed examination of the myriad issues affecting people experiencing homelessness, Invisible Victims makes a compelling case for society to provide necessary services and, above all, a basic level of security for this population."-- Provided by publisher.
