If the supposedly disaffected young provide the subtext to so many
of our social anxieties, then the young homeless loom larger here
than most: our most vivid reminder of social exclusion, and
exemplars too of what the tabloid press like to describe as the
feckless, wilful poor. This book explores what life is really like
for Britain's young homeless: estranged from their families, out of
work and making do on the fringes of social security. The result is
a vivid portrait of a pressing social problem. Based on extended
fieldwork study - the author spent twelve months in the company of
young people moving between hostel accommodation, rented bed-sit
tenancies and episodes of street-sleeping - Better Times Than This
is Britain's first full ethnographic study of youth homelessness.
