"SVT - homelessness is more complicated than you show"

"the Debaters: the Development of homelessness has a close connection with the housing crisis"

"This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against."

"the DEBATE. Recently the TV series ”36 days on the street” ended. Photographer Christoffer Hjalmarsson has with the aid of the camera, depicted the conditions for the group of rough sleepers who spends her life on the streets of Stockholm. "

"this kind of social reportage has an ability to portray the very vulnerable groups that many of us more affluent in society never comes in contact with. Stories can also spark debate and, in the best of cases, bring about changes, which after all is the most important thing."

"A very small group of the nation's homeless is the homeless people depicted in the program."

"at the same time, the question must be asked what depictions of life on the street may, for the importance of the setting to the English homelessness on a more general level? "

"It is, after all, a very small group of the nation's homeless is the homeless people depicted in the program. They are certainly important, but viewers may thus transparency in a very small part of the complex phenomenon of homelessness in today's society. "

"It is not certain that the viewers perceive this, nor that it leads to such actions that basically will deal with the problem. In newspaper articles after the program, we find the opinions that the program depicts the actual homelessness. "

"the Problem is that such conceptions, which connects almost all of the homeless, with a life of the street and abuse already present in the society. If they get reinforcement of other, similar performances, they can have the effect of reinforcing an inaccurate view of american homelessness today and its causes."

"research in The social sciences has shown stereotypes or one-dimensional images can create a generalized belief system. Images become icons or encapsulates a larger social problem in a simplified and biased manner. "

"Therefore, it is necessary that this type of program is inserted in a larger context, so one can better understand the reasons behind homelessness and what measures are necessary."

"It may well be that life on the street, they create visible problems

"Hemlöshetsorganisationer, particularly in the U.S., has long waged a campaign against the one-sided descriptions of the homeless as drug addicts, ragamuffin and the mentally ill. "

"nor do you know what is cause and effect, they say. It may well be that life on the street creates the visible problems. "

"the Organisations also believe that instead of a one-sided focus on individuals, should be to a greater extent highlight the structural mechanisms that create homelessness. "

"Closely linked with the development of the housing market and the housing shortage in Sweden"

"Since 1993 the national Board of health therefore made the surveys was the sixth year of the Swedish homelessness:"

"A number of municipalities did not respond to the survey in the last survey, which makes hemlöshetstalen not likely to decrease but is maintained at a high level. "

"the Development of homelessness has a close connection with the development of the housing market and the housing shortage in Sweden. This means that the group of homeless people also have dramatically changed. "

"The largest group of homeless people in the day have no problems other than that they can't get long-term and sustainable housing solutions due to a weak economy, compared with other prospective tenant. They can therefore be seen as structurally homeless. "

"In the last survey 2017 notes that an estimated 10 500 – 15 000 children may have been in some form of homelessness during the mätveckan, permanently or alternately. Further 3 600 – 7 300 children skattades have parents who were in homelessness. "

"the Current housing policy is one of the most burning social issues of the day"

"We turn not against the 36 days on the street as such. The contents are worthy of a better fate, and it is a shame for us and our society that they are living on the street. "

"But we believe that the public service broadcasters have a special position when it comes to depictions of complex social problems. You should therefore direct connection to the series sent several applications where the development had been portrayed in a more comprehensive manner and set in the context of housing market development and with how it is working to overcome homelessness. "

"Then researchers, experts, politicians, and spokesmen for the various groups of homeless people have been able to provide a comprehensive description of the current housing policy is one of the most burning social issues of the day."

"nordstrom's depictions got a lot of criticism and it was claimed that ”he chose to rummage in the worst”"

"So managed the public service of the first social report in the radio for 80 years ago. Then the aired program documenting her life outside ”With Louis Nordstrom at husesyn, talk with grammofonintervjuer”. It was broadcast in ten episodes during the October – december 1938 and dealt with the housing issue. "

"nordstrom's depictions got a lot of criticism and it was claimed that ”he chose to rummage in the worst” and it was about ”sensationsskildringar” of a ”lortsverige”. "

"Then arranged the then radio service a series of follow-up programme where the issue of housing was highlighted by the experts in a more comprehensive plan, and which gave an additional and more comprehensive picture than the nordstrom's husesyn of poor housing around the country. "

"But most importantly led the programs on to the political measures that yielded positive changes and in the long term, a miljonprogram that gave us Europe's best housing standard and virtually eliminated homelessness. Thus, we have done it before so let's do it again. "

"Here is the media, and special audience service is a major task. So we have also been researchers who study and engage in this extremely important social issue to a task. Homelessness we see as an expression of the very biggest and worst social vulnerability that can befall a human being, and it affects even children. "

"It is necessary to promptly take hold of these problems and work out a national strategy that will be implemented as soon as possible."
