Guzewicz, Tony D.; Takooshian, Harold
Journal of Intergroup Relations, v19 n4 p24-32 Win 1992-93
Compares attitudes toward the homeless in Japan and the United States through a survey of 268 Japanese and 254 U.S. adults and adolescents interviewed in public places. In Japan, homelessness is seldom discussed, and poverty, which may be as widespread as in the United States, is often not recognized. (SLD)
