Family Disintegration
The contemporary family is being distracted, disturbed and distraught by societal pressures from every direction. The nuclear family concept, believed crucial to child rearing, is becoming passé according to census data. Or has the wave of disruption to families crested? It is hoped that this bibliography will serve as a useful tool to researchers seeking further information on families and the pressures being exerted upon them in the 21st century.

Homelessness
Homelessness - A Guide to the Literature -- Second Edition
A Roof Over My Head, Second Edition
Based upon extensive ethnographic data, “A Roof Over My Head” examines the lives of homeless women who cope with domestic violence, low-income housing shortages, and poverty. The author draws upon interviews with homeless women, interviews with housed people, and, finally, evaluations of shelter services, philosophies, and policies to get at the causes and social constructions of homelessness. “A Roof Over My Head” is a groundbreaking study that unveils the centrality of abuse and poverty in homeless women’s lives and outlines ways in which societal responses can and should be more effective. The second edition explores recent attempts to integrate homeless and battered women’s shelters and recent research on domestic violence as a cause of homelessness. It contains a new introduction that analyzes the most recent homeless policy developments and paints a picture of the homeless population today. With updated statistics and policy information throughout, the second edition of “A Roof Over My Head” illustrates why ending homelessness in the United States continues to present a thorny and complex challenge.
Educating Homeless Children and Adolescents
Recently, our country has experienced a dramatic increase in the number of homeless families with school-age children as well as in independent homeless youth. This national crisis concerns policymakers, educational administrators, and practitioners alike. With contributions from experts from a variety of disciplines, Educating Homeless Children and Adolescents highlights the issues related to providing an education for homeless children and teens. Specifically, this inspiring volume provides an analysis of educational policy as it relates to this special, vulnerable population; offers practical strategies for effectively serving homeless students; and features a review of emerging homeless education programs that appear to successfully address the educational needs of homeless children and adolescents - so they, too, have an opportunity to become productive members of society. Timely and critical, Educating Homeless Children and Adolescents will stimulate provocative thinking for researchers and professionals in evaluation, policy studies, education, sociology, and political science.
