Homeless Encampments
|
Dr. Sharon Chamard |
One of the most challenging issues related to
homelessness is how to deal with homeless encampments. This issue was
highlighted once again over the weekend with this AP story carried in the Fort
Worth Star Telegram and other Texas
papers: www.star-telegram.com/news/state/texas/article16623185.html .
One of the reasons this is a challenging issue is that it does not lend itself
very well to our “sound-bite, black and white, move quickly on to the next
issue” nature of today’s fast-paced media. This is why I found Dr. Sharon
Chamard’s thoughtful, objective, long form analysis of this issue, “Homeless
Encampments” (Problem-Oriented Guides for Police - Problem-Specific Guides
Series No. 56) at www.popcenter.org/problems/pdfs/homeless_encampments.pdf
so invaluable. Make sure you check it out.
