There are two chapters in the book 'Statistics and Society' Edited by Dorling and Simpson, Arnold, 1998. One is by Rebeka Widdowfield on 'The limitations of official homeless statistics', and one by Walid Abdul-Hamid on 'The use and abuse of statistics on homeless people'. If you can set up a system that takes account of the problems identified by these authors you will indeed have made made an achievment.

The aim of this research is to provide a recommendation to the municipality of Amsterdam how and whether they should set up a system to monitor the use of homeless shelter and other social services provided to the homeless. II would be most grateful if you could tell me of recent articles, papers or books about this subject or if you have any ideas on this matter, please let me know. Yours sincerely, Jasper de Fockert. ************************************************** "See you when the mud dries.." - Natalie Imbruglia Jasper de Fockert My e-mail addresses: [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask] Homepage: http://surf.to/jdefockert *********************************************** %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
