homeless women and crime  

Definición

  • “Homeless women,” “shopping-bag ladies,” or “urban transient females” are labels used for women who have no established residence, wander idly from place to place without visible means of support, and are living on the streets due to a situational housing problem. As with homeless men, these women are considered to be members of the penniless segment of society, with local variations in lifestyle and in relative numbers; they are found in all major cities in the United States and other nations in both the developed and developing world.
