Volume 65 Number 1

Abstract:

San Diego�s innovative take on the problem of the homeless and the court system was inspired by a Vietnam veterans� outreach effort to homeless veterans called Stand Down. Collaboration between homeless shelters and key players in the justice system results in hearings in local shelters, with participation in shelter programs as the terms and conditions of sentencing.
