Paperback. Condición: Good. How widespread is homelessness, how did it happen, and what can be done about it? These are the questions explored by Christopher Jencks, America's foremost analyst of social problems. Jencks examines the standard explanations and finds that the deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill, the invention of crack cocaine, rising joblessness among men, declining marriage rates, cuts in welfare benefits, and the destruction of skid row have all played a role.

Faced with women who could possibly help him but refuse to do so, he soon develops a vindictive dislike for every female he comes in contact with.
