This book focuses on safer sex discussion and practice in close,
personal relationships, emphasizing research on individuals in
personal relationship types that are experiencing a rise in HIV
infection and AIDS. Moving beyond studies of gay adult males and IV

Homelessness is on the increase in most European states and remains
at stubbornly high levels across developed nations. This is despite
increased policy attention, economic provision and the
implementation of strategies that have promised to stop
homelessness in its tracks, rather than simply manage the crisis.
Providing an in-depth exploration of the experiences of Ireland,
Denmark and Finland in their various initiatives designed to end
homelessness, this book presents an authoritative comparative
account of policies and strategies that have worked, along with an
exposition of those that have not. Making an invaluable and timely
contribution to the current debate, it provides essential policy
lessons for the multiple jurisdictions seeking to successfully
bring homelessness to an end.
