Congratulations to our PhD Candidate, Natasha Martino, on her recently published article in Social Problems!

Natasha highlights how bylaw officers rely on moving people along and reclassifying complaints to other agencies to manage the increasing visibility of homelessness. Check out the full article to learn more about how these practices deepen the precarity faced by people experiencing homelessness.”
