Invisible Victims: Homelessness and the Growing Security Gap

‘Thought-provoking and very readable book.’ Stephen Metraux, European Journal of Homelessness, vol 6:02:2012

‘Invisible Victims is a significant contribution to research on homelessness, victimization, and security. By featuring the voices of homeless citizens, as well as police and service providers, from cities ranging from San Francisco to Toronto to Edinburgh, Laura Huey brings the topic to life for researchers, students, and general readers.’ Gregg Barak, Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Eastern Michigan University

‘Presenting a wide range of material in a highly readable, accessible manner, Invisible Victims will appeal to a diverse readership, including policymakers and practitioners involved in welfare and criminal justice agencies. Particularly engaging is the wealth of ethnographic detail that Laura Huey provides from her own fieldwork, which she integrates very well with commentary on and analysis of the relevant academic literature.’ Julia Wardhaugh, Senior Lecturer in Criminology and Criminal Justice, Bangor University
