Ravenhill, M. (2008), The Culture of Homelessness, Aldershot: Ashgate.

This is an analysis of a database compiled from the returns of outreach workers working with rough sleepers in London 2000−2008 and gives a longitudinal profile of people moving in and out of rough sleeping to counterbalance misleading single night head counts.
