The problem of homelessness is deeply emblematic of the sort of society Britain has become. What other social phenomena could better epitomise the end of modernity than our seeming inability to adequately respond to the most basic needs - shelter, warmth, food - of substantial numbers of our ''citizens''?Homelessness and Social Policyoffers a dispassionate analysis of the problem of homelessness and the policy responses it has so far invoked.
