Kate Moss is Professor of Criminal Justice at the Central Institute for the Study of Public Protection (CISPP), University of Wolverhampton, UK. She has carried out research for the Home Office, Government Office East Midlands, Centrex, Bramshill and numerous police forces and local authorities throughout England. Over the last four years at the University of Wolverhampton, with her colleague Paramjit Singh, she has secured in excess of 2.6 million euros of research funding to support research into women who sleep rough as a result of domestic violence, and also children rough sleepers.

Paramjit Singh is the Director for Research at CISPP. He has successfully developed and managed seven self-funding research centres in higher education and over last 15 years managed over 100 research projects for clients including the European Commission, UK Government, local authorities, research councils, and voluntary and community sectors. He regularly attends the European Parliament in Brussels to meet with MEPs to provide evidence to inform future EU policy and practice.

The research, upon which this book is based, was undertaken with the financial support of the Daphne III Programme of the European Commission. The contents of this publication are the sole responsibility of the University of Wolverhampton and can in no way be taken to reflect the views of the European Commission. The authors would like to thank the European Commission for funding this research, without which this addition to knowledge would not have been possible.

Our thanks also go to all the women and service providers who took part in this study; to our partners in Hungary, Spain and Sweden, with whom we worked on this project for two years; to Kathryn Williams, graduate of SOAS, University of London, who assisted with the editing of Chapter Three; and to Gemma Moss, PhD student at the University of Manchester, whose knowledge of late modernity greatly influenced the writing of Chapter Two.

Womens rough sleeping is a major issue across European countries and is especially problematic within the current economic climate. The research described in this book reveals a number of truths about womens rough sleeping including the fact that many of the current issues that prevail in relation to this social problem have common themes across Europe and that there is little or no specific provision for this vulnerable and hard to reach group. Based on a European Union DAPHNE III-funded project, this book tells the story of the women and organisations that took part in this research in an effort to increase the knowledge base relating to women rough sleepers (WRS); to equip organisations to set up or adopt effective policies, strategies and services to meet their needs, and to challenge current policy, practice and thinking about the problem of women rough sleepers who are the victims of domestic abuse.
