It's Time To Talk About Homelessness - Where Does The Responsibility Lie?


Listen Later

This week we are joined by the knowledgable Harry Armitage, a social policy researcher and PhD student who's currently researching homelessness at MMU. We look into the areas of personal responsibility, the role of the authorities, and the criminlisation of vulnerable groups. Heroically (although failing) trying to answer such questions as why does homelessness still exists in a wealthy country? And why is rough sleeping is still such a taboo subject to talk about? As usual, we take some great questions, and really get to grips with some of the more complicated factors that lead to this social problem.
