Tackling homelessness in Los Angeles’ Skid Row. The role of policing strategies and the spatial deconcentration of homelessness
Description:
While recent research suggests that policing interventions can reduce crime through the spatial deconcentration of street homelessness in Skid Row, such efforts will not succeed on a sustained basis. The city and county need a more comprehensive plan that includes targeted housing development for people who are chronically homeless, along with the spatial deconcentration and repurposing of existing homeless programs.
